The Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru “La Genelotte” Monopole from Domaine Comtesse de Chérisey is an exceptional cuvée from a unique terroir in the Côte de Beaune. This monopole of over five hectares, planted with vines ranging in age from 2 to nearly 100 years, produces a great Burgundy Chardonnay that combines richness, purity, and mineral depth. A rare, elegant wine with remarkable aging potential.
The Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru “La Genelotte” Monopole from Domaine Comtesse de Chérisey ranks among the most distinctive and exclusive wines of the Côte de Beaune. A true monopole of the estate, this exceptional terroir spans 5.05 hectares in the heart of the Blagny sector, on the heights of Meursault.
The plot is distinguished by a unique mosaic of vines of varying ages, ranging from young plantings to century-old vines. This diversity combines massal and clonal selections, giving the wine remarkable complexity and a particularly nuanced expression of Chardonnay. The terroir rests on very clayey and naturally cool soils, offering the vines valuable resilience against heat waves and allowing them to preserve freshness and balance even in the hottest vintages.
On the palate, “La Genelotte” impresses with its depth and refinement. The wine combines the richness and generosity found in great Meursaults such as Charmes with the mineral precision and purity often associated with Perrières. Aromas of ripe white fruit, delicate flowers, citrus, and damp stone intertwine elegantly.
The palate is full-bodied, dense, and perfectly balanced by a lingering mineral edge. At once mysterious, demanding, and fascinating, this Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru reveals its full complexity after a few years of aging. A great Burgundy wine that brilliantly embodies the unique identity of Domaine Comtesse de Chérisey and its historic monopole.
