Clean bottle with the appropriate degrees of development and age. Waxy lanolin character. Not sure how long these straight Meursaults are meant to hold on. Not browning at all but the 20+ years definitely show a little bit of waning energy. Ripe.

There is much discussion about the wines of JF vs Raphael and I have to say that I am not convinced one is consistently better than the other. This wine was showing a lot of lees and was a bit cheesy. Still reductive these many years on. Showing more coche / wine making gymnastics than mersault terroir and lacking some of the more vibrant fruits of the current era.

Coche oh Coche. How do they do it? Fresh as a daisy and initially served too cold lots of racy lemon fruit and razor sharp line. With air and temperature it got so typically “Coche” - beurre claire, nutty deep and saline. Just a perfect white Burg that was so fresh and young and should hold another 20-30 years easy based on this bottle. Coche is special.

opened for 1 hour prior to serving. It slowly started to open up to show the classic toasty and popcorn nose, along with some lemon. Acidity was still pretty high and a little surprising, even though the palate was now more mature. Still got plenty of life left.

Classic Coche with gunflint, smoked yellow fruit and grilled hazelnut. Palate was sharp and precise with soaring acidity. Drinking very well.
