Domaine Blain-Gagnard
ドメーヌ・ブラン・ガニャール
Profile
シャサーニュ・モンラッシェを拠点とするドメーヌ・ブラン・ガニャールは、村を代表する名家から継承した珠玉のテロワールを擁している。計11の保有畑のうち、特筆すべきはモンラッシェ、バタール・モンラッシェ、クリオ・バタール・モンラッシェという3つのグラン・クリュを揃える点だ。さらに8つのプルミエ・クリュを管理し、白ワインの聖地で確固たる地位を築いている。
特にシャサーニュ最良の白を生むとされるカイユレでは、泥灰岩の上部と石灰質の高い下部の区画をブレンドし、力強さと気品が共存するバランスを追求している。また、フローラルで軽やかなラ・ブドリオットや、ヴォルネイのピチュール、シャンパンといった赤ワインの銘醸地にも区画を保持する。伝統を重んじつつ、各畑の個性を精緻に描き出す造り手である。

8History
Domaine Blain-Gagnard is a Chassagne-Montrachet estate with a portfolio built around the white Grands Crus at the top of the village's hierarchy. The Gagnard family name has long been associated with Chassagne; Blain-Gagnard emerged as a distinct domaine when Jean-Marc Blain married Claudine Gagnard. The holdings reflect that inheritance: parcels in Bâtard-Montrachet, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, and a sliver of Le Montrachet itself anchor the lineup, supported by eight Premier Crus across four communes.
Winemaking Approach
Eleven parcels span Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, and Volnay. The three Grands Crus are all white — Bâtard-Montrachet (0.61 ha), Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet (0.37 ha), and Montrachet (0.07 ha) — while the Premier Cru tier mixes white Chassagne parcels with red Volnay holdings in Pitures (0.37 ha) and Champans (0.36 ha). That breadth is characteristic of estates rooted in the old Côte de Beaune farming tradition, where a single family might cultivate both sides of the red/white divide within a compact zone.
