2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Boudriotte, Domaine Blain-Gagnard

The vines for this First Growth now average 60 years of age. Pale, lemon-gold in colour, this shows smoky, fine aromas, leading into intense richness on the palate, with more roundness and fat than we are used to from this site – thanks to the marvellous 2018 summer. The finish is tender and fine (for drinking 2021-2026+).
