PNP. Lemon rind and flint on the nose. The palate was sharply chiseled but not at all hard in the middle palate, with lovely fruit intensity, green apple and citrus fruit. Surprisingly tight for a 16, if this was served blind I would have guessed the vintage to be 14.
Day 2 update, I saved a pour in the fridge. This is holding up remarkably well. Still flinty on the nose, crisp on the palate with a texture showing pronounced salinity combined with drying acidity.

Served a little on the cold side. But soon warmed up and opened up. Lemon, stone fruits, white florals. No ‘pop’ of sesame this time. Balanced, integrated, harmonious. Really good depth at this level. A small sip the following day held up very well, showing some saline and hint of sesame.

Light gold color. The nose is steely and mineral, with lemon, yellow-green apple and a floral character. The palate is tense yet full, with a touch of oak, with a strong aging potential. Very long finish. Excellent wine, albeit very young.

I’ve been drinking great meursault lately (shocker!) and this coche showed it’s pedigree. But in such a different manner. Bright lip smacking acidiity from the first touch of the palate until the finish. Lemon and lime zest, crushed rock, spring flowers and grass. But not as much salinity as I would expect from a “village” wine. All that said, it was spectacular and I am happy to drink coche whenever I can. Highest recommendation.

Great village, typical reductive note but not much popcorn. Very pleasant. First nice drinking window. 95
