Description

A still red from Burgundy, a Volnay Champans 1er Cru, 13% ABV, produced by Blain-Gagnard. Vintage 2021, 0.75L bottle. A wine born from the passion of Jean-Marc and Claudine Blain, who founded this winery in 1980. The carefully cultivated Pinot Noir vines give rise to an elegant and complex wine. The aromas range from floral to spicy, from blackberry and blackcurrant to tobacco and licorice. The color is an intense and vibrant ruby red. On the palate, it is austere, with concentrated tannins that provide excellent structure. It closes with a lingering finish. A wine that pairs perfectly with red meats and aged cheeses.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1980
  • Oenologist: Jean-Marc Blain
Domaine Blain-Gagnard was formed in 1980 when Jean-Marc Blain (a Sancerrois) married Claudine Gagnard, youngest daughter of Jacques and Marie-Josèphe Gagnard of Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange. The couple runs this venerable domaine with the help of their son Marc-Antonin. Jean-Marc Blain and Claudine Gagnard met while they were both studying oenology at Dijon. The estate's vineyards come mainly from grandparents and other relatives of Claudine, along with a few purchases. The vines are planted in Chardonnay (55%) and the rest in Pinot Noir, with a small parcel of Passetoutgrain. Read more
