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.

A symbol of Burgundian Pinot Noir, this wine has a crimson colour and carries aromas of blueberry, redcurrant, and chocolate with marked animal notes. A frank touch with powerful tannins characterises its palate.
