RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...an absolute master class in winemaking and frankly, this “Village” would outshine many a 1er and Grand Cru. It possesses a crystalline bouquet with lime flower, apricot and that leitmotif of crushed stone... How do they do it?

92Stephen Tanzer

...showing noteworthy power and tension, not to mention terrific precision of stone fruit and citrus flavors.

90Burghound.com

There is excellent volume to the somewhat more generously proportioned flavors...mineral character on the lemony, bone dry and borderline strict finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Notes of quinine in a slightly fat nose. Lovely sappy attack. Pure, fine, tense - absolutely classic Coche-Dury. Even their regular village wines are a marvel. Still chewy on the finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

Meursault is one of the trio of famous Chardonnay producing appellations in the Côte d’Or. Although both red and white wines are allowed to be produced in the Meursault appellation, 98% of Meursault is Chardonnay. With a total of 2,500 acres of vineyards, there are no Grands Crus but 325 acres of Premiers Crus, which are divided into 13 main vineyards. As wine writers have often noted, Meursault’s fame is based on its Premiers Crus, including the prestigious Les Perrières, Les Genevrières and Les Charmes. Because the water table is low in Meursault, many producers have cellars here, including Comte Lafon and Jean-Francois Coche-Dury. Robert M. Parker Jr. wrote “the Premiers Crus, as well as the finest Villages Meursaults from the top vineyards, are among the easiest drinking white burgundies in the world. Why? High-quality Meursault is opulent, almost unctuous, with a fatness and a juicy, succulent, buttery, hazelnut and apple, peach-like fruitiness that often roars from the glass.”

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
