Domaine Blain Cote de Brouilly Les Jumeaux 2016

The Blain-Gagnard Family is a veritable winemaking dynasty in Chassagne-Montrachet, responsible for some of the most highly regarded and allocated Burgundies in the US market. Today, while the youngest generation continues their legacy in Chassagne, siblings Marc Antonin and Lucie Blain have started a new project in Beaujolais, Domaine Blain, and we just scored a small parcel at a head-spinning price.

When we poured this, we simply were not prepared for the smoky blue fruits, brambly blackberry and deep complexity - it tastes like something MUCH more pricey. Crushed raspberry, too, with thrilling whiffs of coriander and turmeric, allspice, kirsch and leather...very polished, as you’d expect from these Chassagne-Montrachet-based winemasters, with beautifully integrated tannins. So much going on! Again, that price...we have about 15 cases to sell!
