Blain Gagnard 2022 Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot

The 2022 Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Blanc is a wine of remarkable richness and texture, showcasing the generous character of its clay-rich soils. In the glass, it displays a radiant golden hue with brilliant reflections. The nose is vibrant and layered, offering aromas of ripe yellow apple, juicy peach, and zesty lemon, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and a delicate touch of toast from its time in Burgundian oak barrels. On the palate, this premier cru is full-bodied and opulent, delivering a harmonious blend of luscious orchard fruit flavors with a whisper of red apple that occasionally surprises. Its vibrant acidity provides balance, enhancing the wine’s depth and elegance. The finish is long and expressive, leaving behind a beautifully integrated impression of creamy oak and fine minerality. Crafted with precision from vines averaging between 8 and 40 years old, this wine offers both immediate appeal and the potential for graceful aging.
