“
Pale ruby with the slightest pretension of orange at the rim. The nose is youthful though not focused on primary fruits: Cardamom, anise and sous-bois lead while cranberry and black raspberry trail. The fine, soft, baby powder–like tannins and vivacious acidity structure the fairly broad palate. The medium finish suggests this wine will peak within 2 to 3 years but may hold a year or two longer. Drinks splendidly now, with or without food.

Burgundy’s Côte d’Or
Blagny is a little-known commune in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. The village – or rather, gathering of 10 buildings – is perched above Puligny-Montrachet. It sits right on the border of Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, and white wines can take the name of either appellation. Only red wines can be labeled Blagny, though they can also take the name Côte de Beaune-Villages. These reds lean to the more restrained and elegant styles of Burgundy as they are so high on the hill.
