Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)
Meursault Chardonnay
Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Man Coche just puts everyone else to shame. 2015 is just incredible, belying the warmth of the vintage with electric energy, racy acids and a texture that sets it apart, wrapping around the palate with tremendous density and depth to its layers. I want to smell its struck match-lemon custard bouquet all day. Still my favorite white wines along with Raveneau.

Taken to Selby's in Redwood City. Medium gold color. Heavy in the glass. Killer nose with notes of apricot, petrol, citrus, wet river stone and lots of tan spice. Palate staining in the mouth with a ton of acidity that is balanced against the rich fruit. Can't believe this is a Village wine.

Aug 1st, 2022Light to medium gold in color, heavy like oil in the glass. Awesome nose. Notes of apricot, citrus, matchstick, wet stone, tan spice and some petrol. Coats the mouth with luscious fruit, with some fine grained acidity always in the background. Drink now or over the next decade or two. Love this stuff

May 24th, 2022Stunning bottle. Intense, vibrant and seamlessly balanced between fruit, minerality and maturing secondary character. And how it evolved with air was really incredible, kept gaining in weight and density. Special wines.

Mar 27th, 2022Served late in the evening, as if we needed another bottle... light gold color, distinctive Coche nose with notes of chalk, wet stones, citrus, petrol, some matchstick and some apricot. Very mineral driven. Nose is big, good acidity on the finish, but just a bit light in the mid-palate. Probably needed more air to flesh out. We were all feelin pretty Cochey by the end of this bottle and the evening. Thks Bryan!
