Jean-Marc Blain is a native of Sancerrois and his roots in Burgundy terroirs came from his marriage to Claudine Gagnard in 1980. Today he produces wines from about twenty different appellations. The limestone soil gives the wines considerable finesse and elegance, and the marl gives them a beautiful structure. Over thirty years, the humble Jean-Marc Blain has become a great name in Chassagne, and is one of the seven owners of the exceptional Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru.

The Blain-Gagnard domain’s Chassagne-Montrachet has a strong colour as well as a fine and noble bouquet. Made to be aged, it develops a dense and round texture that is carried by a pleasant acidity. This wine can be truly appreciated after a few years, accompanied by delicacies.
