Awards/Ratings
2020: 92 pts — The World of Fine Wine (cited); trade and merchants note 91–94 range for recent vintages (Jasper Morris/Inside Burgundy, Decanter and James Suckling for related Blagny bottlings)

Tasting Note
Pale lemon with orchard and citrus fruits, orange blossom, white pepper and oyster-shell minerality. Creamy mid-palate, bright acidity and a saline, spicy finish—elegant, precise and ageworthy.

Food Pairing
Western: roast chicken, lobster, salmon with sorrel, mushroom risotto, triple‑cream cheeses. Asian: miso‑glazed black cod, tempura prawns, ginger‑scallion shellfish, richer sushi (toro), mild Thai coconut fish curry.

Production Method
Hand-harvested; gentle whole-bunch press; barrel fermentation with native yeasts; full malolactic conversion; 14–16 months in French oak (≈25–30% new).
