- Background
- This is the most southeastern of the Grand Crus. Francois does this Grand Cru entirely in stainless steel. During one Gourmet Tour in 2005, Francois opened a 1975 Blanchot. It was spectacular. I still have that empty bottle. On a Gourmet Tour in 2006, he opened at 1976 Blanchot. Plenty of “staying power”. One of my favorite white wines.
- Tasting Notes
- Opulent, incredibly layered and structured for a wine that sees no oak whatsoever. Rich, with earthy citrus and exotic spice notes.
