A stellar Meursault from high-performing Premier Cru, `Les Perrieres`, expect a classic white Burgundy profile bursting with peach and pear creaminess and elegant nutty character. A beautiful find from the 2002 vintage.

Vinous
Subdued, refined aromas of peach, lemon peel, orange, stone and vanillin oak. Wonderfully suave on entry, then demonstrates pure grand cru class in the middle palate, with brilliantly delineated peach and citrus flavors lifted by crushed stone and minerals. A wine with great power and cut and yet almost magically light on its feet. Goes on and on on the back end; due to its palate-drenching extract, it's hard to get this wine off your palate (but that's no complaint!). The production was a healthy 45 hectoliters per hectare in 2002, notes Coche, who added that the grapes in Perrieres and in Narvaux were as perfect as he's ever seen them. In 2003, in contrast, his hillside parcels in Meursault yielded between 18 and 25 hectoliters per hectare. A personal favorite among the 2002s I tasted this spring.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2004

The World's Greatest Chardonnay?
Top Burgundy producer Domaine Coche-Dury was founded in 1973 by Jean-François Coche. Now under the stewardship of son, Raphaël, the Coches farm nearly 9 hectares of vineyards across six communes: Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie and Volnay.
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.
