Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Bursting with aromas of raspberries, plums, woodsmoke and sweet spices, the 2019 Bourgogne Pinot Noir is medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated, with powdery tannins and a pretty core of fruit. As I have written before, recent vintages have witnessed a stylistic evolution at Domaine Coche-Dury. In Raphal Coche’s words, the domaine now works with “less new oak, less btonnage and less heavy lees.” The distinctively toasty, sometimes reductive signature that marked out the Coche-Dury wines of yesteryear is less pronounced. But, as Raphal emphasizes, that has been the case for some time.

• Decanter: Lovely forward red berry fruit and a supple elegance. On the palate, there is a winningly silky texture. Although the wine is approachable and straightforward, it is nonetheless a wine of balance and charm. Coche crafts his Bourgogne Rouge from several parcels that surround the domaine. The fruit is mostly destemmed and fermented briefly before cask ageing.

Producer Information

Coche-Dury is a highly regarded producer based in Meursault, Burgundy. While they make some red wines from Pinot Noir, the house is famous for its highly collectible white wines made from Chardonnay. In fact, Coche-Dury’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru wine is consistently ranked among the top 100 most expensive wines available on Wine-Searcher. The Domaine was founded in 1973, following the marriage of Jean-Franois Coche and Odile Dury, although the Coche family has been making wine in Meursault for several generations. Now, as well as holdings in Meursault, the family have vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Volnay and in the Corton Grand Cru vineyard. In total, the Coche-Dury holdings represent just over nine hectares (22 acres), about half of which are in Meursault itself. Coche-Dury’s only Grand Cru wine is the Corton-Charlemagne, but a handful of the domaine’s other wines are of particular importance. Premier Cru wines from Meursault’s Les Charmes and Les Perrires vineyards are among the most expensive wines from the Cte de Beaune, and the Coche-Dury Meursault is among the most sought-after. The domaine practices traditional methods of vinification. The white wines spend up to 22 months in barrel, with only a small amount of new oak typically used (except for in the very top wines). Since 2010, Jean-Franois has handed over the day-to-day running of the estate to his son and daughter-in-law, Raphal and Charline.
