2022 Chapelle de Blagny Blagny 1er Cru Sous le dos d'âne

From 30+ year old vines on clay-limestone marl soil. Blagny is home to miniscule quantities but excellent quality Premier Cru Red Burgundy, despite being better known for its whites. It is one of very few appellations in the Côte de Beaune where Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grow happily side by side on the same parcel.

Outstanding Premier Cru Red Burgundy with excellent cellaring potential.

94 Points, Lisa Cardelli (The Wine Pilot)  – “The nose is delicate, almost ethereal, with wild red currants and raspberries, fragrant gladioli, an accent of sandalwood, ylang-ylang, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and several dimensions of aromas. The palate is refined and juicy, and the fruit here is tightly knitted and less showy, framed by sandy tannins.”
