Jean-Marc Blain-Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Size:12x750ml and if there hadn’t been

and if there hadn’t been a pandemic

it spent 24 months in 100% French oak (50% new)

though the drought in 2016 means that there is slightly less Cabernet Franc

The texture was dense and extraordinarily tannic

I suspect that it will not improve with further bottle age but should hold steady for another decade

Jean-Marc Blain-Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Size:12x750ml and if there hadn’t been(from a mix of ~30% young vine 1ers and villages fruit). An expressive nose of petrol, rosemary oil and apple leads to rich, round and caressing flavors that are not particularly dense though I like both the depth and length on the clean, dry and balanced finale. This could be enjoyed young or with 5 ish years of keeping.
