Domaine Comtesse de Cherisey La Genelotte Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru 2022 750ml

Product Info

The Domaine Comtesse de Chérisey La Genelotte Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru is an exquisite, highly concentrated white Burgundy from a high-altitude monopole (solely owned) vineyard. Known for its electric acidity and chalky minerality, this Chardonnay offers rich notes of hazelnut, toasted gunflint, and orchard fruits. 

• Aromas: Toasted nuts, golden apple, quince, and subtle white flowers, developing nuances of truffle and beurre noisette as it ages.
• Palate: Deeply concentrated yet intensely focused, this wine balances a rich, creamy texture with a biting, tonic mineral finish.
• Aging Potential: While it can be savored young, it has a remarkable track record of aging and is considered an outstanding cellar candidate. 
• Vinification: Hand-harvested and fermented in French oak barrels using a strictly restrained proportion of new wood to preserve the terroir’s fruit and minerality.
• Élevage: The wine ages on its fine lees in deep stone cellars to build complexity before assemblage.
• Vines: The old Chardonnay vines (some dating back to the 1930s) deliver naturally low yields, resulting in extraordinary concentration.
