Available for prepurchase now!
Jean-Marc's winemaking is marked by meticulous attention to detail: careful adjustments like the selective choice of coopers and their wood, as well as blending wines from vines of varying ages, contribute to a range of superb wines. For his premier cru and other wines, Jean-Marc utilizes approximately 15% new barrels, whereas the grand crus receive 30% new Alliers oak. The resulting wines are typically highly concentrated and available in limited quantities, striking a balance between the robust flavors of older vines and the vibrant qualities of younger wines, ensuring richness and strength without being overwhelming.
89 Pts Allen Meadows, Burghound ‘…The rich, round and generously proportioned flavors possess a slightly finer mouthfeel while exhibiting a touch better depth and persistence on the slightly more structured finale. Worth considering.’

About the Wine Maker 
Domaine Blain-Gagnard was formed when Jean-Marc Blain married Claudine Gagnard, daughter of Jacques and Josephe Gagnard and granddaughter of Edmond Delagrange, resulting in a union steeped in Burgundian heritage. This husband-and-wife team run the domaine, now with the help of their son Marc-Antonin, who has returned from France after spending time in the vineyards of Australia and New Zealand.
