Puligny Montrachet Blain Gagnard 2021
The name of the lieu-dit La Rue aux Vaches derives from the path that runs along the vineyard, used for grazing livestock. From 60 years old vines just below the famous 1st cru Les Pucelles. Golden, bright color with light green reflections. The nose is fresh, with notes of ripe apricot. The palate is ample and rich, and requires a few years of bottle to relax at its best.
Blain Gagnard
Since 1980, the Domaine is headed by Jean-Marc Blain, who married Claudine, daughter of Jacques Gagnard. No doubt one of the most valued, classic and traditional producers of the Cote de Beaune.
Jean Marc today holds 8.70 ha of vineyards, grown on chardonnay and black pinot. All grapes are dirasped before fermentation of 12/14 days, with temperatures up to 35 ° C. Evelage of 11/12 months for whites, with batonnage; 15/17 months for the reds. Moderate use of new Alliers oak barrels (between 15% and 30%). All Domaine wines show fruit purity, freshness and consistency with native terroirs.
