Description
Traditionally in Burgundy, many tasks of the vineyard were the exclusive domain of women, perhaps because they demanded a softer touch and a more delicate approach. Today, a few domaines, including Romanée-Conti, still require some work to be under the sole management of women. In Blagny, where grapes have grown uninterrupted for more than one thousand years and the Chérisey family has been growing them for the last two hundred, Hélène, the proprietress, manages the labor in the vines. While her husband may run a simple and handsoff cellar—allowing native yeasts, a cold cave, and the terroir to do their job—it’s Hélène who toils most in the soil. The Hameau de Blagny is an absolute rarity in Burgundy. Located on the high slope that dominates both Meursault and Puligny below, its wine contains the power and weight you’d expect from those villages, nuanced with the higher-altitude limestone chalkiness and precision one finds in the top estates of Chablis. A dazzling combination!
