Due to the Covid pandemic, the few professional critics that make the trip up to Cherisey did not during this release, and thus there are no reviews as of yet as the property does not submit bottles for off-site critic tastings.
The 2020 Vintage is classic Cherisey.  That lean and aromatically intense style is in full force in 2020, with a nice round classic oily texture that is amplified in the finish with varying degrees of a stony and tart finish.  These are truly special wines and now is the rare case to grab Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru in solid cases for under $150!


 

Domaine de Cherisey Description

"The lost hamlet of Blagny, up in the hills between Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault in the Côte d’Or in Burgundy, is home to Comtesse de Chérisey. This almost magical, lost-in-time corner of the world boasts a unique microclimate, with a slightly different average temperature, exposition and soil than the rest of Burgundy. In our humble opinion, our friend and vigneron, Laurent Martelet, creates the most haunting masterpieces that emerge from this terroir. All of the de Chérisey vines are premier cru, are at least 60 years old, and they encircle their ancient cellar in the Hameau de Blagny." - Kermit Lynch
