2021 Blagny Rouge 1er Cru Sous le Dos d`Ane, Domaine Chapelle de Blagny

Wild, refreshing, elemental and superbly plush, this incredible Blagny Rouge has turned this vintage’s challenges into an opportunity to show just how resilient and impressive these vines are when the chips are down. Astoundingly delicious, with a heroically long finish and no trace of excess in any department, this magical red wine has the texture of a grand white and the flavour of the most mesmerising Pinot imaginable. Bafflingly brilliant, this is a wine I cannot live without. 18.5/20
