Tasting Notes: The 2014 Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault offers a compelling and concentrated experience, defined by a complex bouquet of quince, vibrant citrus, and distinctive smoky reduction notes, often likened to gunpowder or iron filings. On the palate, this vintage showcases remarkable balance between a lush, creamy texture and a firm, crisp structural tension that carries through a long, piquant finish. The wine's core is driven by a deep, dense minerality and full-bodied flavors of grapefruit, subtle cardamom, and sour lemon zest, suggesting a wine with substantial stuffing and significant potential for decades of development.
Estate History: Domaine Coche-Dury is one of Burgundy's most revered and enigmatic producers, known for crafting some of the world's most sought-after Chardonnay wines from their base in Meursault. The estate gained legendary status under the meticulous stewardship of Jean-François Coche, who took over from his father, Georges, and focused intensely on vineyard health, extremely low yields, and a precise, hands-on approach to winemaking, including a lengthy barrel aging process. The domaine is now managed by Jean-François' son, Raphaël Coche, who continues the family tradition of producing white wines celebrated for their intense concentration, profound minerality, and exceptional longevity, maintaining a reputation for uncompromising quality and rarity.
