Domaine Comtesse de Cherisey La Genelotte Meursault-Blagny Premier Cru, France 2011 Brachetto black truffleTasted blind at the Burgundy horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Meursault Blagny 1er Cru La Genelotte from Martelet de Cherisey exhibits a slight flatness on the nose compared to the first wine, again with just a little SO2 evident. The palate is medium bodied with a pleasant saltiness on the entry. This is nicely balanced with well judged acidity, that saline element threaded through right to the poised, mineral tinged finish. 90 Pts Robert Parker
