Domaine Coche-Dury, established in the 1920s, is a prominent producer in Meursault, with approximately nine hectares under cultivation, primarily focused on Chardonnay. The 1997 Meursault presents a complex bouquet featuring notes of citrus peel, toasted hazelnuts and flinty minerals. On the palate, it offers a substantial yet refined profile, exhibiting layers of ripe pear, subtle earthiness and a hint of saline minerality. The texture is notably silky, leading to a lingering finish that reflects the wine`s terroir.

The 1997 Meursault Village has a fragrant bouquet of white flowers mingling with hazelnut and background notes of wet wool, perhaps becoming just a little diffuse with age. The palate is marked by a silver bead of acidity, and not as complex as I have found some overperforming vintages of Meursault Village to be, but redeemed by lovely, judicious lemon verbena and orange pith on the finish. Not the greatest Coche-Dury that I have tasted, but come on: it’s a 24-year-old village cru! (Two bottles tasted from different sources, one showing more fatigue than the other.)Neal Martin1st August 2021

The Domaine is celebrated for its superb and highly acclaimed Chardonnay including Meursault Perrières, Meursault Les Chevalières, Corton Charlemagne and Puligny Montrachet Les Enseignères. With tiny yields and meticulous wine making, the Coche-Dury name is truly iconic on the Burgundy stage.
