Passion
for the grapevine and the wineHélène and Laurent Martelet, representing the sixth generation of winegrowers, carefully intervene when necessary to draw out the qualities of the exceptional terroirs of Hameau de Blagny.
The team at Domaine Comtesse de Chérisey is passionate about nature and the outdoors – working tirelessly and meticulously every day, with deep respect for the vine and its ecosystem. Viticultural methods at the estate follow proven organic farming practices.
As a result, nature determines how every bunch grows – to become part of a future cuvée.

Respect
for terroir, heritage and ancestral know-howBringing a dormant terroir back to life and cherishing it. Enhancing our architectural heritage – the heavy legacy passed down through generations of men and women attached to the fullness of beauty.
The people; the landscape; the land.
Decades of arduous work have shaped the beauty of our terroirs today. Habitats have been integrated and have adapted to these landscapes. These treasures are now listed as Cultural Heritage of Humanity sites.

Innovation
and respect for tradition« It is sometimes said that little imperfections are what render things perfect »
With every era comes novelty. Technologies evolve – as do our responses. Our mission is simple: to preserve the precious heritage passed down by our ancestors, yet to adapt it to ensure it remains sustainable.
« A head to reflect; two arms to take action »
Revealing
a well-kept secretThe magic touch of innumerable people has been instrumental in bringing about the birth of the fermented grape juice that we call wine.

Sharing
comes naturally to lovers of wineLong before the golden nectar would delight our palates, the days and nights on this long journey were punctuated by uncertainties, tears and joy.
What could be more majestic than to shape that which nourishes us. What could be more heart-warming than to share this work with those around us on a daily basis. What greater honour than to spark the flame that brings such precious pleasure to the heart of the satisfied wine enthusiast*
« From the planting to the tasting, it's all about sharing! »
