Blain-Gagnard Chassagne – Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte 2018

A direct, peach- and melon-flavored white, shaded by butterscotch & vanilla, with a nose reveals notes of rosemary oil, resin, apple, earth and a hint of tangerine peel. Like Morgeot, La Boudriotte can have weight, depth, and richness, but is typically a bit more finessed. Aromas and flavors of yellow apples, lemons, and minerals are accompanied by notes of vanilla and toast thanks to aging in 30% new Burgundian pièce. Domaine Blain-Gagnard was formed in 1980 when Jean-Marc Blain married Claudine Gagnard, youngest daughter of Jacques and Marie-Josèphe Gagnard of Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange.
