Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2019

Jan A
9.5

This did not have the usual reduced matchstick thing going on, but more a tropical fruit profile. Nobody guessed it to be Coche at the table. Very balanced and beautiful for a BB — 25 days ago

Clisson Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2009

Lemon and honey, stony minerality, great acid and depth on the palate, even at age 16 this has lots of life left in it (5-10 more years), very long, lingering finish, great Muscadet!! — a month ago

@Doug Powers thanks to a wine mentor I too learned of the beauty of aged Muscadet. He also educated me that Bojo can age. When ignorance is turned into knowledge, it can be very rewarding.

@Ira Schwartz, I remember visiting Marc Olivier @ Pepiere one January (2007?) with two of my wine group friends, he climbed in our car and we drove out to see some of the vineyards, including Clisson. The amount of shells and granite was amazing. One of the nicest vignerons I’ve ever met!!

Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2014

This bottle brought me tremendous joy. My last bottle a few months back was over the hill and it really bothered me because I felt this could easily go 10+ years when I tasted it on release. This is a perfect example of there are no great wines just great bottles. Lovely scents of apple, lime and vanilla. A wonderfully integrated palate with a finish that makes you think premier cru. — 23 days ago

@Doug Powers I always would laugh about that when people would use that saying. Here were two bottles bought at the same time stored next to each other . Both corks were in good shape.

@Ira Schwartz, I’ve experienced it too many times to not believe it, particularly once the bottles have some age on them. Glad to read that this bottle met/exceeded your expectations!!

Cuvee Cassaneas Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Delicious throughout. The 2022 Cuvée Cassaneas pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with a mix of ripe and tart, orchard and tropical fruit: pineapple, green apple, peach, white and yellow flowers, limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and loaded with minerals. A touch rounder than the 2021 version. Another beautiful wine that reaches way beyond its humble Bourgogne Blanc designation. Drink now through 2037. — 6 days ago
