Maxime Blin Temporelle Nᵒ 1

Golden colour. The nose has tonicity and purity with subtle light white flower and a chalky note.
Straight, delicious and complex flavour, merging with finesse, generosity and freshness. Brioche, pepper and minerality complete this sensory symphony.

First came Juliette and Robert, whose longing for business and creativity saw them plant the winery’s first vines after World War II.

Then came Gilles, who joined forces with his wife Madeleine. They accomplished a great deal in their time: building the press and vat room and going into sales.

Then Maxime came back to the fold in 2005. Claire may not have been working for Domaine Blin back then, but she was involved in introducing a winemaking system and launching a range of signature vintages for her own family’s business.

Maxime had a vision (visions!) for how he saw the business’s future: “I had a lot of ideas when I got here after my studies and work experiences. I had a vision for the environment. For changing our farming methods. For sustainability. For micro winemaking. For tending to our grapes differently. For exporting our vintages, introducing them to other places in other ways. I knew how lucky I was to inherit such a fantastic workplace and playground. I wanted to explore it! “

60 % Pinot noir, 20 % Meunier, 20 % Chardonnay from Trigny, in organic viticulture. Harvest 2019, malolactic fermentation done, no cold stabilisation and no filtration.

Serve as a pre-dinner drink or with tartare, ceviche, seafood.
