Vineyard article for "Blanchot" |
| (last edited 3/26/2020 1:25:25 AM by LindsayM) at weinlagen.info Les Blanchots Blanchot is faces more towards the east. It is a cooler exposure benefiting from the morning sun, but losing the advantage as the day progresses. Hence it can ripen 5 to 6 days later then the sunnier climats. There is not so much limestone in this climat. There is rather more clay, which becomes pebbly at the bottom. In style it can be quite ‘tender’. I find it a bit like Bouchères in Meursault; get it right and you have something full, light and lacy, but it can easily lose definition. It can be very expressive, but lacks the steely backbone of the better grand cru and as such rates in the third rank. It matures more quickly – a good choice in restaurants, where the vintages are always too young. It is a similar size as the previous grand cru 12.8 hectares, which are cultivated by fewer than 20 producers.
