December 4, 2023 - creamy, even can tastes red fruits flavour.
maybe the condition of the bottle, it's very different from my previous coche 2010 experience.
less complexity and powerful.
September 11, 2023 - This is brilliant. Incredibly complex mélange of Bartlett pear fruit and innumerable minerals and delicate herbs. Pale and gorgeous. Steely yet not at all austere. Arguably the ultimate Perrières. Mature and at peak and no oxidation.
June 6, 2023 - Compared with the various Coche Corton Charlemagne’s we had, the Meursault Perrières was clearly more delicate. But it was also more elegant and mutifaceted. Gorgeous bouquet. Airy. The intensity of the white fruit was a perfect match for the lemon, lime and pear fruit. It seems almost young. Delightful.
October 24, 2021 - Another brilliant performance from Coche. There was a greasy stain on the top of the slightly depressed cork that had be worried it might have leaked but there was no sign of that in the wine. The color is a healthy medium yellow. This is not one of those movie theater buttered popcorn concoctions of the Jean François era; son Raphaël in his first vintage made a slightly less exuberant version of Meursault. But what is gives up in flamboyance, it gains in elegance and precision. The flavors are a mixed bag of citrus, including bergamot as the astute perfume tester at the table noted. No lack of power or mid palate density. I thought it might be just a smidgeon shy of full maturity but if it’s all there, give me more now.
September 18, 2021 - Reductive, gunflint aromatics. Incredibly pure palate, aching intensity and length. Note this is still very tight and needs time.
June 13, 2021 - Golden colored with tropical fruit. No oxidation at all but comes off as more fully mature than prior bottles. Quite enjoyable but there are better bottles of this.
August 28, 2020 - Also reductive aromatics like 09. Where the palate of 09 is flamboyant and opulent, this is precise and crisp. Yin vs Yang.
December 14, 2019 - Perfect!!!
February 13, 2019 - an off bottle...though properly stored. aging ahead of its time. #sad
May 5, 2018 - Coche Arbor 4. Needs to be coaxed. There's a mellow quality paired with high acidity. Time needed.
