| Community Tasting Notes (average 94.3 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 30 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Topper on 3/29/2024 & rated 95 points: Yes, this is likely one of the top village whites in Burgundy with plenty of length, acid, volume and that Meyer lemon. Really a great wine, but priced like a grand cru and on this night it was trumped by a Batard and a Chevalier. from other producers. C'est la vie. (166 views) | | | Tasted by Vas19 on 12/7/2023 & rated 95 points: Yeah this is legit. A hint of reduction on the nose with orchard fruits and oak spice. Great length and balance on the palate. Feels younger than 12 years old. Still some lemon on the finish. Tres bon. (573 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 2/17/2023 & rated 96 points: Stellar bottle that belies village status. Textbook matchstick Coche aromatics, exuberant. Palate is intense. (1219 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 1/6/2023: Still fresh but in a lovely place. There's some nougat, smoky mineral and white peach to the nose. The palate is dense and chewy, with sappy orchard fruit flavours and plenty of almond butter. The finish is laden with chalk and a big squeeze of lemon. (1208 views) | | | Tasted by llink on 12/26/2022 & rated 95 points: Decanted for 3 hours, then consumed over a 2 hour dinner. The nose displays a classic Coche nose of smokey flint, spice, citrus and orchard fruit. Crisp, linear and quite acidic palate. Deep lemon flavors delivered in a high acid, saline infused, chalky texture that shows very young at 11 years from vintage. Delicious with mussels and later duck confit, this did not fade at all during the dinner and really seems to be a baby that is built for a long life.
Update on day 3. I filled a 150 ml bottle with the remaining wine, and finished it on day 3. Amazingly the wine improved. It still has the flinty and lemony nose, but on the palate the fruit seems deeper and fuller and the wine is more open and less chalky compared to day 1. (933 views) | | | Tasted by englishman's claret on 11/7/2022: Drinking really well now, probably better than at my last encounter with this. (2146 views) | | | Tasted by bill00 on 7/2/2021 & rated 94 points: Classic Coche reduction. Tons of youthful energy. This barely budged over the course of the evening. A little bit leftover the next day had filled out nicely leaving me optimistic for positive development from here. 94+ (1960 views) | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 6/10/2021 & rated 97 points: The nose showed a bit of reduction at first with notes of citrus, white flowers, and popcorn. Overall it's beautifully complex and very deep. There's lots of acidity, which perfectly keeps the richness in check, and more citrus driven notes of lemon zest and oranges on the palate. Very long, mouthwatering finish. This wine was great all evening long, but it really blossomed after a few hours in the decanter and set it apart from the other whites. Outstanding. (1624 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 6/1/2020 & rated 93 points: A private lunch (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Open and spicy nose with classic Coche matchstick; full-bodied palate, good concentration, fleshy fruit (meyer lemon, but also tropical), ripe but fresh acidity, savoury oak, broad style; long and minerally finish, excellent persistence. (2710 views) | | | Tasted by englishman's claret on 2/18/2020 & rated 94 points: Interesting to taste this next to the 2013 Rougeots; the 2011 version is much more mellow though surely no less complex or fine. This is far easier than the 2013 to actually drink now. (2951 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 9/27/2019: Three Old Bordeaux and Some Starters (Bellecour. Wayzata, MN): Classic Coche, with strong matchstick that never dissipated. This showed classic 2011 Meursault beauty, and was a very pleasurable bottle. (2348 views) | | | Tasted by Alex G. on 8/31/2019: Classic Coche matchstick aroma, very long and powerful, almost creamy with air. My friends are usually even more bonkers to drink Coche than I am, but today it seemed the enthusiasm for this bottle was high — but not as high as it was for the ’10 Ramonet Batard and ’05 Raveneau Les Clos. (1255 views) | | | Tasted by FYC on 6/13/2019: Surprisingly accessible. Not nearly as tart as the 11 Caillerets or Meursault. There is plenty of acid to be sure but also enough fruit to balance it out. Drinking well now but also with plenty plenty of room for improvement. Last classic vintage of Coche IMO. (1476 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 2/9/2019 & rated 94 points: Matchstick green pepper aromatics, but not offensively so. Attacks with high acidity which mellows but intensity and minerality remain. Excellent. (1268 views) | | | Tasted by Burgaddict on 6/12/2018: Leiden at restaurant Vermeer Amsterdam: Very special wine. Nose almost vibrant, yellow fruit, hint of match stick, you just want to continue smelling this wine. Taste is huge, lots of extract, great acidity, enormous length. Although taste is complex it is still a bit linear. That is not a problem because this wine is so hugely fresh and expressive. This is a great drink now, I am curious how this will develop further after more years in bottle. (1886 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 5/4/2018 & rated 93 points: La Fête de La Paulée: Tasted side-by-side with the '96. Similar signature but the youth is on full display here. Some reduction in the nose along with mineral and ripe orchard fruit. Palate is rich and creamy with searing, driving acidity. Not yet integrated but with loads of potential. (1987 views) | | | Tasted by eschaefer on 1/27/2018 & rated 95 points: This was my first coche every. Medium gold color. Medium bodied with bright acidity. Nose of honeysuckle, lemon zest and a hint of citrus oil. Beautiful texture and mouthfeel. Palate was bright lemon interlaced through a tropical fruit profile as it warmed a bit. Stony minerality, very vibrant and fresh with a long lingering finish. Superb. Highest recommendation. (1575 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 12/10/2017 & rated 93 points: So much matchstick, gun flint, and yellow fruit on the nose. Palate is obviously young but the coche character is prevalent at this age with a mouthful of minerals and acidity. I think his 11 is very good. Lots of potential. (1776 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 11/10/2017 & rated 95 points: Dinner with the St. Louis Crowd et al. (St. Louis, MO): Yay, Coche! I'm not really sure what the point of tasting notes on young Coche are anymore. Coche tastes like Coche. I suppose the differentiation comes from how much extraction and Coche-ness you can pack into a single 750 ml bottle. Here, the answer is quite a bit. From what I remember versus the 2011 Meursault, this is a much more concentrated and dense wine, and shows more focus and linearity. (2554 views) | | | Tasted by Russell Faulkner on 9/17/2017: At Troisgros - Drinking beautifully (1456 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 7/14/2017 & rated 92 points: Still young and powerful... a classic (1428 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 6/29/2017 & rated 94 points: Troisgros. Pale gold, some color and weight. Gunflint aromatics which gave way to floral over 2 hours. Intense palate with good acidity and mid-weight. Terrific. (1329 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 6/26/2017 & rated 94 points: Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): Starting to show some maturity, yellow stone fruit, peach, pineapple, baked apple, honey, a hint of flint, sweet spices and mineral. Very good concentration, slightly lean despite the ripe yellow stone fruit, searing acidity and good mineral presence. The finish is long and sweet. Another wine that is drinking beautifully! (3568 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 4/22/2017: Drinking beautifully. It was rich and ripe, with almond butter and white peach notes. It was full in the mouth with a sappy feel and some gentle spice. (1405 views) | | | Tasted by Corgi on 4/18/2017 & rated 95 points: A high level of finesse and precision. Just kept wanting more of it. Coche's 2011 are consistently fantastic across cuvées. Louis XV Monte-Carlo.

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
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
