Coche-Dury Meursault Les Rougeots 2011 is a medium- to full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Premier Cru climat of Les Caillerets in the Meursault appellation of the Côte de Beaune. Based in Meursault, Coche-Dury is a pre-eminent Burgundy wine producer, famous for its almost-mythical Chardonnay wines. The domaine was originally established in the 1920s by Léon Coche and today cultivates around 9 hectares of vineyards. This 2011 bottling comes from Les Rougeots, the renowned Meursault 1er Cru in which Coche-Dury owns a 0.7-hectare plot of vines planted in 1940, 1962 and 1973. "The 2011 Meursault Les Rougeots has an intense flinty bouquet with touches of smoke emerging with time, the oak just loitering in the background and not obfuscating any terroir expression. The palate is very precise and subtle with tangerine and citrus peel, hints of blackberry leaf emerging toward the finish. Like many vintages of Rougeot, it needs a little coaxing but is worth the wait. Excellent." Wine Advocate, 2014

Vinous
Bright, pale yellow. Musky citrus and stone aromas are complicated by smoke and a whiff of sulfides. Sweet, musky and energetic, with a pliant quality to the lemon and spice flavors. This very rich wine finishes with excellent cut and lift--and an impression of power.
