2019 Comtesse de Cherisey, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru, Hameau de Blagny 1x75cl

Vinous – 93-95

From the domaine’s largest parcel, at 1.07 hectares, and planted in the 1950s, the 2019 Puligny-Montrachet Hameau de Blagny 1er Cru has a complex bouquet of lemon thyme and honeysuckle, touches of basalt coming through with time. The palate is very harmonious with quince jus on the entry and a little more spiciness on the finish compared to the La Garenne. A lovely blood orange note lingers on the aftertaste. Another delicious and cerebral 2019 from Domaine de Chérisey. [Neal Martin, 01/10/2020]

Jasper Morris – 90-93

Pale lemon colour, with a nicely perfumed nose. There was a long slow fermentation and this still has a little more gas. Excellent intensity here on the palate, a mix of ripe citrus and light passion fruit, just the right body, lifted fresher finish, a really appealing perfumed citrus note to finish. [01/10/2020]
