Staff Pick Notes

Sometimes a wine walks in the door, smiles up at you and steals your heart. It lights up your world, supercharges your senses and makes you see and feel things more deeply than you knew was possible. You had no idea you'd been living in the dark, but nothing will ever be the same. You can't go back. Laurent Martlet is the creative hand behind Comtes de Cherisey, named in honor of his wife Hélène’s mother, who passed the vines on to Hélène. The grapes come from a 1er cru vineyard in the hills between Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, where the unique terroir creates a wine with a fine-tuned honied richness. There's just a kiss of oak, surrounded by lemon curd, toast and wet stone. It's a wine you're going to want to take your time with and get to know, because this one's a keeper.

It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
