Run by Marc-Antonin Blain, son of Jean-Marc and Claudine, the vineyard was handed to him by his Grandfather a year before his passing. Spanning 1.16 ha the Domaine is divded amongst four appellations including Batard Montrachet. New oak barrels are never used to excess, being subtly spread amongst the different cuvées, so that spicy oakiness is never perceptible.

There is a touch of post-bottling reduction that pushes the fruit to the background at present. More interesting are the bigger and more powerful medium weight flavors where the richness of the mid-palate contrasts noticeably with a somewhat attenuated and short finish. It's hard to opine whether this will recover with a few years of keeping but it's a reasonable bet. Date: Apr 2026; Drink: 2030+; Issue: 102; Rating 88 Points; Allen Meadows; Burghound
