(Please see my overview of the 2018 vintage in the Côte d'Or here.)
Were it not for 2014, 2017 would be the best white Burgundy vintage I have seen. But there are exceptions, and this estate proves it by producing 2018s that are the equal to, and maybe even better than, the outstanding 2017s. The estate goes by the name Domaine Comtesse de Chérisey and Domaine Martelet de Chérisey, depending on the market, The vines are all located around the estate in the village of Blagny, and so are at relatively high altitudes. Although not well known, it produces some of the greatest white Burgundy that I know.

Harvesting in 2018 began on 23 August and finished on 1 September. The harvesters looked for the parts of each parcel that were ready and then came back subsequently for the parts that needed further ripening. Alcohols are 12.5-13º. All wines went through malolactic fermentation. Vinification and élévage were 1/3 in tank, 2/3 in cask.
