Chassagne Montrachet Blanc 2024

What kind of wine it is

Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc from Domaine Blain-Gagnard is a still white wine from Burgundy, displaying an antique golden yellow colour, brightened by green highlights. Made from Chardonnay grapes, it offers intense fruity aromas on the nose, with ripe yellow fruit standing out, accompanied by a powerful mineral note. On the palate, it is opulent and very rich, offering an almost creamy texture that envelops each sip. The lively freshness and crisp flavours of apple and citrus, enriched by unexpected hints of red fruit, create a balanced structure that leads to a long and harmonious finish.

Where it comes from

This label originates from Chassagne-Montrachet, a prestigious area located within the Côte-d’Or, in the heart of Burgundy. The white wines from this specific region share similarities with those from nearby Puligny due to their acidic tension, but are distinguished by a generally softer and broader flavour profile. Domaine Blain-Gagnard has been enhancing this characteristic of the soil since 1980, translating the geological features into an authentic expression of the terroir. The vines benefit from an ideal environment that gives the grapes a deep aromatic profile, capable of evolving and refining elegantly in the bottle over the years.

How it is produced

Vinification is carried out with precision under the guidance of Jean-Marc Blain, who oversees every stage of the process to enhance the potential of the raw material. To fully appreciate the complexity of its rich texture, it is recommended to decant for about an hour. Thanks to its sensory profile, this white is an ideal accompaniment for grilled fish, shellfish and poultry. Its creamy texture also pairs perfectly with refined vegetarian dishes, cheese selections and structured dishes featuring butter-based sauces, cream or toasted nuts.
