Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault 2018
Opening with aromas of crisp orchard fruit and citrus that are perfectly accented by a nutty undertone and a whiff of sulfur. It's got a lively, medium body laced with tension and concentration of flavors that beguile the senses. A truly elegant and graceful wine that will engage your palate and drive you wild. Stepping up from the Bourgogne level wines in a big way. Again excellent composure, tighter now as it should be.
The disconnect between the lifestyle of the Coches and the reputation of their cultish wines is marked, to say the least. The Appellation used to describe the wines depends on the variety, Pinot or Chardonnay, and the adjacent Appellation. bouchard pere & fils chassagne-montrachet For example, the cluster next to Volnay uses the Appellation Volnay-Santenot for the red Premier Cru’s. This makes sense when you consider the reputation for reds from Volnay. Whites from the same area use Meursault Premier Cru.
As I consider the evolving tapestry of Burgundy's vinous offerings, I find that the 2018 Meursault Caillerets captures both moment and momentum. In the captivating world of fine white Burgundy, the 2018 Meursault Caillerets from Domaine Coche-Dury emerges as a beacon of precision and elegance. Our Process Let us guide you through the process behind investing in fine wine.
Raphaël Coche thinks this will prove reminiscent of the domaine's 2001—in so far as the 2001 drank well in its youth, but despite its youthful precocity, it proved surprisingly long lived. Here, the expressiveness of the vintage meets the tensile, age-worthy Coche style to great effect. We take the scores from France’s leading wine publication, map them into a single space to adjust for differences between our other partner critics' rating tendencies, and rebase them to use the full Wine Lister scale.
Nowhere in the Côte de Beaune does the Chardonnay grape do better than it does here. Along the village streets are a succession of little houses belonging to the vineyard workers, mixed with more imposing dwellings. The stone-work on the 53 metre-high church tower looks like it... The 2011 Meursault Village is showing beautifully, offering up a classic bouquet of crisp green orchard fruit, citrus oil, toasted hazelnuts and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, it's deep and layered at the core, with a racy spine of acidity and a long, penetrating finish. This is a comparatively precocious vintage for Coche-Dury that can already be approached today.

Deep flinty nose, showing Coche spent fireworks and lemon. Tight and chalky palate, very deep lemon rind flavors but still young and primary. We maintain strict, direct, temperature- controlled delivery from the cellar to the customer, guaranteeing the integrity of each vintage’s character and flavor profile. From cellar-to-cellar, or cellar to shelf, we maintain the highest standards, thanks to close relationships with the finest producers of wine across the globe, ensuring authenticity.
Return to form and though young, very well integrated and quite giving already on both the nose and the palate. Just lacking that matchstick and gunflint reductivity that you get with older Coche... I guess under Raphael's stewardship these wines are more approachable when young but are losing a hint of that ' je ne sais quoi' with some older vintages. This can definitely age though, and will be very good for a long time. Jean-François Coche (and since 1999 his son Raphaël) produces wines that you are often mandated to drink – but all too often for the wrong reason!
A slightly riper and darker fruited nose is comprised by notes of cassis, black cherry and subtle spice and earth nuances. Here too there is excellent richness to the finer if not quite as dense flavors that are shaped by moderately firm tannins on the complex and sneaky long finish. The 2018 Meursault Village Rouge offers copious aromas of red cherry and blueberry fruit, cranberry jus and touches of rose petal.
