Francis Blanchet: Tasting & Drinking
Although my experience with the wines of Francis Blanchet is limited to less than a handful of wines, it seems clear that this is a domaine of interest. Francis Blanchet’s dedication to his vines and the soils in which they dig their roots is tangible, even if he has not gone so far as to convert to fully certified organic viticulture.
And the wines have appeal, showing tension and minerality, certainly in the case of the Calcite cuvée (also sold as Les Pernets, as I describe in my notes), at any rate. This is a domaine to watch, and it will be interesting to see how things develop here as responsibility is gradually handed over to Mathieu Blanchet from 2015 onwards. (10/12/14)
