The Jean-Marc Blain-Gagnard Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2016 is an exemplar of white Burgundian splendour from the revered cellars of one of Chassagne-Montrachet's premier winemakers. Hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes from a mere 1.57 hectares provide the sublime, intricate layers that characterise this truly iconic Grand Cru. The ancient vines, nestled in limestone-rich soils, yield an unparalleled expression of terroir. This elegant embodiment of refinement and complexity was crafted under the stewardship of Jean-Marc Blain and his wife Claudine, the daughter of Jacques Gagnard-Delagrange, through traditional vinification. A fermentation process meticulously overseen in French oak barrels - 30% new - for up to 18 months, offers a harmonious marriage of opulence and longevity. Exuding indulgent notes of peach, citrus, and vanilla, the Jean-Marc Blain-Gagnard Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2016 is a testament to its distinguished lineage. A truly exceptional wine to savour now or cellar for future indulgence. |

Vinous (90)The 2018 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with more floral scents, fine crushed stone aromas with hints of honeysuckle becoming more pronounced with aeration. The palate is balanced with a powerful opening, quite a "burly" Bienvenue. Sappy, but somehow lacking persistence on the finish, as if rushing out of the exit door in a hurry. It then seems to fade in the glass returning after 10 minutes. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. |
