  "A Gentleman's Night": Woah, this was…unexpected. Showing lots of development and very little fruit. Honey, apricot, a ton of white flowers. Hint of fruit towards the end of the palate initially and on the finish it was almost a bitter gunflint note.
  
  This wine danced and evolved throughout the night.
  So mesmerizing to follow this. Every time I came back to it a subtle new note unfolded, oh is that a hint of white peach? An underripe orange? As we swirled over 30+ minutes more fruit came out.
  A more delicate wine, we all said if given this blind, we wouldn’t go towards Chardonnay, not immediately at least. It didn’t have the linear acidity that I often find carries through the palate of Chardonnay. I don’t think it needs that, it’s not meant to be that way. Just sit back and enjoy. We even said this is a cheese wine or a no food wine, just embrace it. It’s a wine that wants to be coddled and thought about - delicate.
  
  I would have personally liked a little more fruit and acid, but that's nitpicking. If it had that, it would be perfect.

  Another stunning bottle. i often find 05 Coche to be peak drinking…this was no exception. Next to a 12 Enseignieres, this had a little more of everything, including a ripeness from the vintage which lent an orange rind quality to the citrus notes that i really enjoyed. So focused, so delineated, each note is on point and contributes to a greater good

  Flinty and smoky on the nose, on the palate again smoke, ripe citrus and pear, extremely long and powerfull. Enormous for a Villages.

  Exquisite depth with laser precision. Punching way above its weight, even for this producer. If we had this in last month’s Coche MP tasting would have beat half the field - it is that good.

  Blind tasting chez Said: floral notes, pears, enormous power and length, more refined compared to Coche‘s Rougeots 07 tasted 30 minutes ago. Still young, but perfectly drinkable.
