The nose is very fresh, with lime, green apple and hints of oak. Tense and coiled on the palate, it builds on layers of fruit and minerals, wrapped in a rich and spicy shell, with excellent balance and structure. Great definition of flavors on the palate, which lasts through the extensive finish. A fantastic example of what the 2011 vintage can offer in white Burgundies. What a treat.

On the nose, initially, strong matchstick/gunflint, which quickly opened up revealing oak/butter, light citrus, and some cherries. Over time, more of the fruit and white blossom floral notes came out, but the gunflint smell remains prevalent in the background.
Palate-wise, medium minus body, medium plus acidity, lemon, butter, that transitions into a nice grapefruit and mineral based mid-palate that further evolved into a spiced, long, and pleasant finish. The fruit opened up a lot towards the 2nd hour.
First Coche -- amazing!

Just the villages, but all the Coche-Dury hallmarks here, the rich ripe fruit and the framing grip of the oak, powerful, long and utterly delicious.
