| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.6 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 55 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Zweder on 5/3/2024 & rated 95 points: White fruits, minerals and beautifully dosed oak, good acidity and a great length. Very beautiful wine. (272 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 4/6/2024: nose - lemon rind, fennel
mouth - some richness (hazlenut, caramel) but quickly overrun by a very lively acidity (493 views) | | | Tasted by Vas19 on 3/27/2024 & rated 94 points: Meursault perfection. Impeccable balance, great length. (641 views) | | | Tasted by pbaek on 3/22/2024: A very lean version of this wine, almost tasting like young Chablis with a chalky, stony and mineral character combined with citrus notes. It appears much younger than the 2020 at this stage and needs time in the cellar. Hopefully it will gain more weight with time. With Johnny and Dorthe in Chablis. (573 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/28/2024 & rated 91 points: Acker "Paulee" Burgundy Dinner (Capital Seafood - Beverly Hills CA): Paulee style dinner. Rich and unctuous with wonderful density for its level, yet bright and lithe from middle through finish. This is a baby and will age gracefully. Upside from here. (870 views) | | | Tasted by MWiking on 2/27/2024 & rated 96 points: stenfruktigt, snyggt, väl integrerad syra och en eftersmak som aldrig tar slut. världsklass (795 views) | | | Tasted by joshabramson on 2/14/2024 & rated 94 points: Dense and flinty, with good but not great acidity. A little closed down still, we probably didn’t give this enough time to fully open up.
Honestly, it’s becoming hard for me to swallow the price tag of these Coche village wines. As tasty as they can be, the few bottles I’ve opened most recently (specifically this 17’, last week’s 14’, and 19’ a few months ago) have failed to deliver above many of the far less expensive white burgs I love. I guess I just want to be blown away at this price point, while these were merely very good. (904 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 1/19/2024 & rated 94 points: Gunflint, linear, dense. (1094 views) | | | Tasted by Hugo Hilde on 1/14/2024 & rated 95 points: Crazy nose, so much energy, yet clean. With air it settled down with cloudberry, marzipan.
Fine delineation with pear, lemon zest, gunflint, nuts and razor sharp acidity. (826 views) | | | Tasted by manemis on 1/12/2024 & rated 94 points: Glorious. Very precise. Took a couple of hours to open up. Buttery but still very clean, a bit reductive. Long. Great acidity, not too viscous. (637 views) | | | Tasted by aquacongas on 12/31/2023 & rated 94 points: blind
I had this wine one week before but I couldn't recognize it. I guessed Comte Lafon, because of its creamieness.. A great village wine, far away from his peak. 94 (872 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 12/28/2023: It was relatively tight and compact on first pour, unfurling nicely in the glass. Loaded with sappy peach aromas and flavours and tinged with spice. So much chewy dry extract to the back end and some honeysuckle with air. Powerful, balanced and engaging. (759 views) | | | Tasted by palfr2 on 12/21/2023: Ok much has been made about Coche and the style it initiated with pretty much half of white burgundy producers trying to replicate the reductive winemaking style with flinty aromatics. On this showing I would feel inclined to say there is more craft to it than reductive winemaking. Flinty nose yes but nothing prototypical. There is more to it, smoky elements too. Lemon too. The rest ot the package is consistent and sapid ie while no particular fireworks it stretches its legs and delivers without letting down in intensity or palate breadth. In the big scheme of things this is a proper 1er Cru experience. WOTD alongside Arnoux Lachaux Echezeaux 17 and Selosse Rose. (665 views) | | | Tasted by Jdamsgaard on 12/8/2023 & rated 97 points: What a wine. Coche energy coming out from the glass. Lots of freshness while still having richness in a beautiful balance. (539 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 12/7/2023 & rated 94 points: Gunflint, deftly handled. Incisive, tense palate. (838 views) | | | Tasted by llink on 11/28/2023 & rated 93 points: 2 hour decant, tasting at the French Club. Beautiful nose, flint, lemon and spice soar out of the class. Classic palate, rich yet acidic with a lemon infused cut to the fruit. Excellent. (728 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 11/10/2023 & rated 93 points: Well-cut but acidity still dominates at this stage with decent weight. 93+ (836 views) | | | Tasted by pbaek on 9/8/2023: Perhaps a lighter vintage for Coche Dury, it is showing apple and lemon fruit and a great, chalky minerality. It also builds and builds on the palate and is very deep and expressive on the back end. Very impressive wine, delicious already now - especially with air, but I’m sure this will be better in 5-10 years. In Meursault with Martin. (1247 views) | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 9/2/2023 & rated 94 points: Lots of minerals on the nose with just slight reduction and notes of lemon, lime, and green apple. High acidity on the palate with more lemon flavors, crushed rocks, lime, lemon zest, tart white peach, flint, and apple. Long finish. Really lovely wine that tastes great now but it's obviously still quite young and could use at least another 5 years for the acidity to integrate a bit. 94+ (1189 views) | | | Tasted by WKC on 8/18/2023 & rated 91 points: A bit young but already displaying all the coche characteristics on the nose. Quite acidic on the palate and not harmonized so give it a few more years. (929 views) | | | Tasted by Bobby Burgundy on 7/23/2023 & rated 92 points: Nice wine (1081 views) | | | Tasted by oxwombat on 6/9/2023 & rated 93 points: Opened at the Shangri-La in Paris. Double decanted and enjoyed over a few hours.
This was gorgeous, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I had committed some sort of infanticide here. This was fresh, precise, buttery, nutty, flinty - all the things you look for in Coche, but I feel like it just takes a bit more time for everything to come together and really wow you as I know Coche can.
For a Meursault village? Incredible. But for Coche, not quite there. Would very happily revisit in 2+ years just to check-in, but most likely this will embrace its upside and become a much more compelling bottle in 5+ years time. (2011 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 5/28/2023: A very nice bottle with slightly less verve than most previous experiences. Nitpicking, that's for sure. (1214 views) | | | Tasted by aquacongas on 5/26/2023 & rated 93 points: not blind
A bit reluctant Coche nose, not too reductive. Balanced in the palate, some stones, lemon and a bit popcorn. 93 (1409 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 5/22/2023: This bottling continues to impress. Gorgeous and an absolute hit with the table. Loved it. (1223 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

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

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
