Very good balance. Delish. (3343 views) | | | Tasted by Simple palate on 4/25/2016 & rated 96 points: Burgundy Grand Cru wine dinner.
What a surprise.
A rich wonder of a wine.
One of my 3 wines of the night. (3641 views) | | | Tasted by valedeniro on 12/7/2014 & rated 94 points: What a marvellous bottle.Incredible nose....white flowers,acacia honey,orange peel,lemon tart,quince jam,smoke,minerals.Extravagantly rich and powerful,a texture like motor oil, that coats your palate with wawes of very ripe fruit,but also with refreshing acidity and what a fantastic length.Amazing ! The mistery about this bottle ..... which climat ? Narvaux,Chaumes or Vireuils ? (4628 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 7/16/2014: A taste of Coche-Dury (Angler, City of London): Acrid edge and funk, bracing and exciting, on the palate its huge size and heat came apparent, but this was a singular very exciting wine (5552 views) | | | Tasted by Seth Rosenberg on 12/3/2012 & rated 91 points: Acker BYO 2012 (Tribeca Grill, Tribeca, NY): Very Coche. Salty, brown spice, good extract and acid, lemon, caramel. A little rough on the palate, but pretty damn good for an 03 - lots of lemon and spice, pretty tight, only a little 03 vibration or roast shows through, and only occasionally. A excellent bottle. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 4.5/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15.5/20. (6614 views) | | | Tasted by St Paul on 4/20/2012 & rated 92 points: Very complex. I had this blind and I had it down as Meursault after been thinking that maybe it was a Corton-Charlemagne. I def thought this was a 1:er Cru. Lovely structure and good fruit. Not at all heavy or lacking of acidity which you could expect from a year like this. It is an event to drink Coche-Dury. (3955 views) | | | Tasted by portobellovines on 9/9/2011 & rated 90 points: Fabulous accessible coche, the palette does not live up to the brooding promise of the nose - a bit one dimensional but then its an '03 - glorious if rather pricey (3366 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 3/16/2011 & rated 95 points: Burgundy Focus Dinner: Meursault, Gevrey, Chambolle (Pera Restaurant, San Francisco, California): Light golden yellow color; lovely mineral, ripe pear, apricot nose; lush but poised, creamy textured, ripe pear, peach, mineral palate, elegant and delicious, a wow Meursault from a ripe year, but beautifully executed; medium-plus finish (group's WOTF) (2344 views) | | | Tasted by UTPK on 5/18/2010: Very primary nose of oak and that typical Coche expressive sprawling nose of yellow flowers and popcorn. Gorgeous in the mouth, long aftertaste. Not heavy and clumsy as other 2003. It blew away Lafon Clos de la Barre 1999 and Louis Carillon, Perrieres 1996....amazing! (3183 views) | | | Tasted by Chisato on 11/26/2009 & rated 90 points: Not decanted
Color: Light gold. Very young looking
Nose: Nutty, oily floral aroma with traces of oak detected
Palate: Sweet caramel and some citrus flavors detected. Considering the good kick on the attack I think it is a bit lacking (in relative terms) on the mid palate department. Still not enough stuffing here and a bit mediocre on the finish. I do think this bottle has developed quite a bit when compared to the bottle I had in November 2008. The 2003 vintage is definitely not as good as the 2001 vintage as the 2001 version I had last year provided more pleasure. However, this wine may still benefit from further cellaring (3144 views) | | | Tasted by Eckie on 11/20/2009 & rated 93 points: This wine proves the maker is more important than the vintage. Very well made Meursault that is both refined yet powerful. Honey, citrus and almonds on the nose. Buttery on the palate, but it remains elegant. Not overly concentrated, just right. Extremely long finish, the most impressive part of this wine. This wine is 'a point', as the French say. Wow, if Coche can do this in 2003, I wonder about 2005's... (2306 views) | | | Tasted by Jossik on 5/12/2009 & rated 87 points: Bicompleanno Danilo, cena da Uliassi (Uliassi, Senigallia): Ricorda il Niellon ma su un registro migliore sotto tutti gli aspetti (3174 views) | | | Tasted by RossM on 12/24/2008 & rated 90 points: (Decanted for 45 minutes prior to pouring) Beautiful med-straw coloring. Aromatically this wine is unmistakably Meursault: rich and creamy with a ton of fruit waiting to explode. Hints of creme brulee, candied white fruits, lilac, misc. white flowers. There was also a slight waxy component that added to the intrigue. The palate was rich and balanced (impressive structure from such a warm vintage). Incredible length. With time there was a hint of smoke that developed. Delicious. (2557 views) | | | Tasted by winemike on 12/19/2006 & rated 86 points: Exotic fruits, lacking acidity and focus. Far from the usual showing, this is disappointing Meursault from Coche-Dury. (2639 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 12/16/2006 & rated 94 points: Holiday Lunch w/Saturday Tasting Group (Chez Weiner, Westwood, California): Very pale yellow color; deep ripe, juicy lemon and lemon zest nose; delicious, concentrated but elegant vanilla lemon palate; long finish (1840 views) | | | Tasted by Will on 1/24/2006: I barely noticed it with the cheese - I thought it was a bit flat and definitely not what one could expect from this producer.

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
Côte de Beaune
Côte de Beaune (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne)
Vineyard maps on weinlagen.infoMeursaultLocated in Cote de Beaune, south of Volnay and north of Puligny Montrachet. Meursault ("Murr-so") has historically been Burgundy's center for white wine production. In fact, nearly all of the 2.5 million bottles produced from 440 ha (1,090 acres) are whites. The soil is a mixture of marl and chalk and is perfectly suited to the production of chardonnay. Meursault wines are known for aromas of hazelnuts, honey and vanilla for its aromas and creamy, almost olive oilllike texture. There are no grand crus in Meursault, though Les Perrières, Les Genevrières and Les Charmes produce remarkable wines. Further, some of the most well-known vineyards of Meursault such as Narvaux and Limozin are not premier cru but Villages-classified vineyards. Recent top vintages include 2008, 2007, 2005, 2002, 1999, 1996, 1993, 1990.
With 437ha. of vineyards dedicated to Villages wine or Premier Cru, Meursault has the largest area permitted to be planted in white wine in the Cote-d'Or. Furthermore, despite the fact that the village lacks even one grand cru, Meursault has historically been Burgundy's center for white wine production, in the past even more so than Puligny-Montrachet or Chassagne-Montrachet. While much of those two villages had in the past been planted to red grapes, Meursault has always been white wine territory. In fact, the modern day vineyard of Les Combettes in Puligny-Montrachet, which forms a continuous chain with the premier crus of Meursault, was once considered part of Meursault and not Puligny, where the many nearby vineyards produced red wine. There are several important factors that determine the reputation of Meursault. Primarily, the soil throughout most of Meursault is perfectly suited to the production of chardonnay; it is a mixture of marl and chalk, that when combined with a largely east or southeast exposure creates healthy grapes that are full of character. Another factor correlates to geology, though in a very different way. Meursault's high water table allows its residents to carve deep, cold cellars "perfect for the production of wine" into the chalky, stony soil. So, while large negociants from Beaune dominated the production and marketing of Burgundy throughout time, Meursault remained a wine of its own citizens. Contributing to this, since red wine has been more prized throughout time, these same negociants looked elsewhere for sources because the wine of Meursault has always been white.
What makes the wine so special? The most common descriptors attached to Meursault are hazelnuts, honey and vanilla for its aromas and creamy for its texture. However, this simplifies things quite a bit. In most cases, Meursault despite an almost olive-oil texture is countered by a precise mineral character, stoniness and a more refined overall palate than, for instance, Chassagne-Montrachet. It's the unique stony/mineral character that often gets lost when tasting Meursault, as many concentrate on the ripe, hedonistic primary flavors and aromas. It's the bipolarity of the wine, the interplay of both factors, that makes Meursault one of the most sought after white wines in the world. As mentioned above, there are no grand crus in Meursault, though many would argue that Perrieres, Genevrieres and Charmes can attain these lofty heights in the hands of the best producers. Further, some of the most well-known vineyards of Meursault such as Narvaux and Limozin are not premier cru but Villages-classified vineyards, though again, the best examples are clearly of higher quality. source: http://www.burgundywinecompany.com/wines/display.php?subregion=Meursault
