Domaine Comtesse de Cherisey,
Ready, but will improve,
A monopole of the estate, the vines here are over 60 years old. There is impressive concentration, with a generosity on the attack which gives way to a saline thread of acidity, providing a mouth-watering finish. A wine of great potential. Drink 2023-2030.
Harvest began here on 29th August, with wines fermented and aged for the first year in barrel, before being transferred to tank to preserve freshness. Laurent has used less than 10 percent new oak across the range, arguing that a barrel is a container rather than a flavouring. He feels that 2017 has similarly ripe fruit to his (hugely successful) 2015s, but with a little more freshness and purity.
