DOMAINE COMTESSE
BERNARD DE CHERISEY
by Dixon Brooke
Vintage 2010 came and went in a hurry, didn’t it? One of the smallest yields in memory for white Burgundy, the wines just flew out of here. Now for the bad news: 2012 will be even worse. There is a bright side, however. The 2011s are arriving, and quality is high. Here is your opportunity to stock up on some wines that will be drinkable young and old. The Domaine de Cherisey white Burgundies, hailing from the hameau de Blagny in the hills above Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, are a brightly colored feather in the KLWM cap. Definitive, classic—once you’ve tasted them, you won’t want to settle for less.
Blagny is a very unique terroir in Burgundy, and the wines are known for their longevity. Speaking of longevity, this domaine celebrates its 200th anniversary with this vintage. Many of these years were spent supplying wine to top Burgundian négociants, so their history of estate bottling is relatively young. Since they began, however, their track record is beyond reproach, remarkable, pristine!
