Blain-Gagnard Chassagne Montrachet les Caillerets 1er Cru 2021 (750ML)

92 BH

Tasting note: Enough wood to comment on sets off the borderline exotic aromas of orange peel, white peach, exotic tea and a hint of pineapple. The rich and very generous medium-bodied flavors once again brim with sappy dry extract where an evident bead of minerality adds a sense of lift to the very dry finish that is shaped by citrus-tinged acidity. This has the stuffing to age but is sufficiently pliant to be enjoyable young as well. Outstanding.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
