Blain-Gagnard Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2019 (750ML)

89 BH / 16 JR

Lightish crimson. Sweet cherry fruit, open. Chewy chocolate-smooth tannins. Firm yet harmonious. --Julia Harding MW, Jancis Robinson

Note: from Les Chaumes, Champs de Morjot, La Goujonne and La Canière
Tasting note: This too flashes plenty of pepper character on the more elegant though still somewhat rustic aromas of dark cherry, warm earth and a hint of the sauvage. There is again very good volume to the delicious, dense and serious middle weight flavors that deliver fine length and notably better depth on the balanced finale. While this could be enjoyed young, I would suggest allowing it 3 to 5 years of cellaring first. Outstanding Top value.—Allen Meadows, Burghound
