Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru Magnum 1.5L 2015

The Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru Magnum 1.5L 2015 boasts a nose that is ripe, fresh, and still in its primary stage. Notes of spiced pear, apple compote, and floral and citrus aromas make it an aromatic delight. The unusually full-bodied flavours have fine richness and volume, with a touch less minerality than usual, yet impressive persistence on the lingering finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. This wine can already be enjoyed with pleasure, but it is recommended to cellar it for a few more years to unlock its untapped development potential.

One unique aspect of this wine is its magnum bottle size of 1.5 litres, which is twice the size of a standard wine bottle. The magnum size provides several benefits, including a slower aging process due to the reduced oxygen-to-wine ratio, resulting in a more balanced and complex wine. It also enhances the appearance of the wine, as the larger bottle size creates a more impressive presentation on the table, making it perfect for special occasions or as a gift for wine enthusiasts.
