  Opened at Le Cinq in Paris. P&P and enjoyed over dinner.
  
  Was a toss-up between this and some other young vintages, and decided to go for this upon the advice of the sommelier team.
  
  Interesting Coche for me: this wasn't really showing some of the signature flint, gunpowder, matchstick aromatics that I have come to look for and love. That being said, it was still an excellent village Meursault, drinking above its category in richness whilst exhibiting very bright and lively acidity. It might not be the best Coche, but this is still always a treat!
  
  I'd be interested to see how this evolves over time, as it definitely has the capacity to age. Perhaps revisit this in 5+ years, just to see how it's doing.

  Nose: gunflint, burnt matchstick, mango, passionfruit, sesame, bread crumbs, caramel, white chocolate
  Notes: opened for 2 hours when started drinking. Quite intense and explosive on the nose, the combination of gunflint, toast and tropical fruit is really attractive. Nevertheless, the palate of the wine is rather anticlimactic as it's rather big and slightly unbalanced. I don't think this is impossible to drink now but perhaps 2-3 years more would make it better.

  Thursday at P90. Like the Roulot 19 this needed some oxygenation to hit top gear, but when it got there, it was quite the show; open knit and wide open with just the right amount of opulence. Gunflint, lemon puff, yellow peach, toasted malt, building up to a saliva inducing saline finish. Ripe yes but none of that excessive 18 heat.

  Decanted for 1 hour. Tropical fruit, white peach and some spice and light floral elements on the nose. No flinty fireworks, atypical with Coche. Dry and chalky palate, still tightly wound, taut and muscular with compressed orchard fruit elements.
