The 2024 Domaine Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Caillerets is a concentrated and refined Chardonnay from one of the village’s most celebrated hillside vineyards. It offers complex aromas of poached pear, white peach, preserved citrus and jasmine, with delicate toasted notes and a distinctly chalky, stony character.
On the palate, it is full-bodied, rounded and intense, yet beautifully controlled by firm acidity and pronounced mineral tension. Ripe orchard fruit and restrained oak unfold across a layered, powerful core, leading to a bone-dry, chiselled and impressively persistent finish. This is a youthful white Burgundy that will reward patience.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for collectors seeking Premier Cru Chassagne with both richness and mineral precision. Decant briefly if drinking young, although it will show best from 2028 and can cellar into the late 2030s. Ideal with lobster, scallops, grilled turbot, roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes or aged Comté.
