{"product_id":"2022-marc-antonin-blain-batard-montrachet-grand-cru","title":"2022 Marc-Antonin Blain Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru","description":"\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2022 Marc-Antonin Blain Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is an exceptional white Burgundy from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards. Produced entirely from Chardonnay, Marc-Antonin Blain’s Bâtard-Montrachet combines the natural power and breadth of this legendary terroir with the domaine’s precise, restrained winemaking style. The 2022 vintage shows aromas of white peach, ripe pear and apple, layered with citrus, subtle exotic fruit and profound stony minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eOn the palate, it is powerful, concentrated and beautifully structured, with layers of ripe orchard and stone fruit supported by vibrant acidity and a strong mineral backbone. Despite its considerable richness, the wine retains impressive purity and tension, with restrained oak allowing the fruit and terroir to remain at the forefront. The finish is serious, compact and exceptionally persistent, giving the wine the structure required for extended bottle development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen's Recommendation:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for serious white Burgundy collectors. Bâtard-Montrachet represents one of the absolute pinnacles of Chardonnay, and Marc-Antonin Blain’s 2022 beautifully combines the vineyard’s natural power with elegance, mineral tension and precision. The vintage received \u003cb\u003e94 points from Burghound and 18\/20 from Jancis Robinson\u003c\/b\u003e, with both reviews highlighting its ageing potential, purity and mineral character. This is a wine worth giving time in the cellar; enjoy from around 2027 onwards or cellar comfortably into the 2040s. Pair with lobster, turbot, scallops, roast Bresse chicken, morels, truffle dishes or aged Comté.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eInfo\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"height: 152px;\" width=\"846\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCOUNTRY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePRODUCER\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMarc-Antonin Blain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSTYLE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite Wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVINTAGE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSIZE\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Domaine Marc-Antonin Blain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50987482906939,"sku":"MBBMON22F","price":950.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/6779\/7699\/files\/2022_Marc-Antonin_Blain_Batard-Montrachet_Grand_Cru.jpg?v=1787457424","url":"https:\/\/winemore.com.au\/products\/2022-marc-antonin-blain-batard-montrachet-grand-cru","provider":"Wine More Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
