BH91 Rated 2019 Domaine Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint Jean White Wine

Domaine Blain-Gagnard’s 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay offers an exquisite expression of Burgundy’s renowned white wines at an exceptional value. Hailing from the prestigious Clos Saint-Jean vineyard in France’s Côte de Beaune region, this wine blends classic Burgundian elegance with vibrant fruit character and mineral complexity.

Crafted from sustainably farmed Chardonnay grapes, this vintage delivers aromas of ripe yellow apple, peach, and citrus zest, complemented by subtle vanilla and toasted oak nuances from its aging in 30% new Burgundian pièces. On the palate, it defies expectations with a harmonious balance—rich and broad yet lifted by crisp acidity, creating a mouthfeel that’s both indulgent and refreshing. Burghound’s 91-point rating highlights its “notable detail” and “progressively minerally finish,” while its dusty yet balanced structure ensures it pairs beautifully with seafood or creamy poultry dishes.

What sets this wine apart is its versatility and approachability despite its premium pedigree. While many hillside whites from this region lean toward austerity, Clos Saint-Jean surprises with its lush texture and layered flavors that evolve gracefully over time. At $87.99—a significant savings compared to its $120 retail price—this 2019 bottling provides an outstanding entry into Domaine Blain-Gagnard’s celebrated lineup.

Whether you’re seeking an award-winning addition to your cellar or a standout choice for a special occasion, this Chardonnay delivers Burgundy’s signature sophistication without compromise. Note that availability and vintage may vary in-store; secure your bottle while this exceptional value lasts.
