Description

These grapes were harvested from five different plots where some of the vines are more than 40 years old. Partly, they lie downhill from Chassagne’s road to Santenay, partly from La Platière, with some tiny Pinot grapes from Les Lombardes. Cordon-pruning is widely-seen, to restrict yields and help aeration of the bunches. The wine is ruby-purple of medium depth, the nose recalling cherries and raspberries. Palate shows bright fruitiness, with chewy middle and fresh, fine aftertaste (for drinking 2025-2029+).

Domaine Marc-Antonin Blain

Marc-Antonin’s tiny Domaine goes from strength to strength. After wine studies in Beaune, he worked vintages at Giaconda and Cullen in Australia, then Carrick in New Zealand. He now makes wines from vineyards previously tended by his late grandfather, Jacques Gagnard-Delagrange. Marc-Antonin’s cellar is colder than that of his Blain-Gagnard parents, and his wines often spend extra months in barrel before bottling, so their complexities are different. He is one of the most modest, but also talented, members of the emerging generation of Burgundy growers.
