Domaine Cherisey Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru 'Genelotte' 2007

The lost hamlet of Blagny, up in the hills between Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault in the Côte d'Or in Burgundy, is home to Domaine Comtesse Bernard de Cherisey. 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, that creates the most haunting masterpieces that emerge from this terroir.

"Genelotte smells of fresh lime, honeysuckle, and almond extract; coats the palate with soothing liquid flowers and citrus-cream; and finishes with satisfying primary juiciness and subtle salinity and meat or poultry stock character. What little this lacks by way of the incisiveness, energy, or mineral intricacy displayed by Martelet's two other crus, it makes up for in harmony and richness."
