More about the 2022 DOMAINE COMTESSE DE CHERISEY BOIS DE BLAGNY MEURSAULT: Perched high above Meursault, at the boundary with Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Comtesse de Chérisey’s Bois de Blagny vineyard is a rare and hallowed site. Situated at nearly 400 meters in elevation on the hillside of Blagny, this historic lieu-dit enjoys a cooler microclimate and leaner, limestone-rich soils that set it apart from the broader Meursault appellation. In the 2022 vintage, the domaine’s rigorous biodynamic farming and commitment to minimal intervention allowed the site’s pure expression to shine with remarkable clarity and finesse. The wine unfolds with an aromatic profile that is both restrained and profound—white flowers, crushed stone, fresh lemon zest, and a whisper of almond skin. On the palate, the 2022 Bois de Blagny Meursault walks a fine line between tension and generosity. There’s a vibrant core of citrus and saline minerality, wrapped in a texture that’s silken yet sculpted. Fermented and aged in a modest proportion of older oak barrels, the élevage is unobtrusive, allowing the site’s voice—elevated, windswept, and mineral-driven—to speak without embellishment. This is not a Meursault of broad brushstrokes or overt opulence. Rather, it’s a study in refinement—a wine that rewards patience and attention. With aeration, nuances of fennel, flint, and white peach emerge, revealing a quiet complexity that lingers long after the last sip. In a region defined by prestige, the 2022 Bois de Blagny stands as a contemplative outlier: precise, hauntingly beautiful, and deeply rooted in one of Burgundy’s most underappreciated terroirs.
