This top Chassagne vineyard extends from the southern tip of famed Le Montrachet, and shares similar character to its prestigious neighbors to the east in Criots-Batard.
 
 
The Blanchot-Dessus 1er Cru vineyard is a tiny slice of land comprising just over an acre of prime terroir to the west of Batard and just below le Montrachet.

An intense, effusive bouquet ranges from toasted brioche to grilled hazelnuts, dried apricot and lemon peel with just a hint of truffle. Despite the discrete development, this is still lively and fresh on the palate with an elegance and finesse that is almost sublime. The texture is waxy and dense but never heavy, and the balance leads to an interminable finish. The vines are 60 years old and belie their classification as 'only' village-level. This is amazing wine.—Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

Aromas of pastry cream, pear, vanilla pod, fresh peach and struck match introduce the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gain, a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny wine that's bright and saline.
