2020 Comtesse de Cherisey 'La Genelotte' 1er Cru Blanc Meursault-Blagny

Winemaker Notes:  Genelotte is one of the great underrated sites of the Côte de Beaune. Perched over the communes of Meursault and Puligny beneath thick woodland, it is a monopole farmed exclusively by Domaine de Chérisey. Old Chardonnay vines give a deeply concentrated, yet finely chiseled Meursault with toasty notes of gunflint and hazelnuts, culminating in a tonic finish characterized by biting mineral extract. This is truly electric Chardonnay whose track record of aging makes it a great cellar candidate, but it can be savored today, too, especially if given some time in a decanter. —Anthony Lynch
