Comtesse Bernard de Cherisey, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chalumaux, 2017
White Burgundy this pedigreed usually comes with a wait and a shock at the register, but here's a well-aged premier cru Puligny ready to drink now. Comtesse Bernard de Cherisey is a small, premier-cru-focused estate tucked into the hamlet of Blagny above Puligny-Montrachet, run by Helene de Cherisey and vigneron Laurent Martelet. Les Chalumaux is their lowest-lying parcel, which gives a rounder, fleshier style than their cooler sites while keeping Martelet's signature precision. A neat detail: they age in barrels made from oak sourced in the woods next to their vines. Now nearly a decade on, the 2017 has traded primary fruit for depth and nutty complexity, so pull the cork for a special dinner rather than a random Tuesday.
