Coche-Dury
If ever there were a definitive white wine producer in Burgundy it would likely be a tie between Puligny-based Leflaive and Meursault specialist Coche-Dury. Commonly known simply as Coche, this domaine is a magnificent producer with holdings in the most important vineyards not just in Meursault but in the wider Côte de Beaune as well. Even their villages level wines are blue chip quality and highly sought after by collectors and investors.

Enjoyed over dinner in Burgundy after tasting many truly lovely wines, this wine could erase your memory of anything else. It is a riveting tour-de-force, with a medium lemon-yellow colour and heady, incredibly forward aromas of ripe orchard and stone fruit with exotic spices, butter, and a bit of oak. There is fresh acidity, plenty of body and extract, and incredible finesse and elegance as well. The combination of youthful fruit, fresh acidity, and robust density carry this wine to an interminable finish.HK$48,840.00 -

Coche began to release his 2016 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru last year, and the wine is just beginning to unwind, offering up aromas of citrus oil, peach and pear mingled with freshly baked bread, toasted almonds, iodine and struck match. Full-bodied, broad and layered, with a dense core of concentrated fruit, racy acids and a long, saline finish, it's from a climat that was largely spared by the frost in 2016.HK$426,800.00 -
(1x75cl) 1995Wine Advocate (93)
Coche's 1995 Meursault Village is drinking brilliantly today, offering up aromas of honeyed orchard fruit, buttered citrus and toasted nuts mingled with hints of oyster shell, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's textural and concentrated, with terrific cut and a long, penetrating finish. As is often the case, with almost 30 years in bottle, the wine underlines that attention to detail and a passion for excellence count for more than appellation hierarchy.HK$14,120.00 -

The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets is excellent, unfurling in the glass with notes of lemon oil, sesame, dried white flowers and a subtle hint of orange blossom, subtly framed by new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, racy and mineral, with tangy acids and an unmistakably chalky, saline finish. As is often the case, it's the brightest, most overtly stony wine in the Coche-Dury cellar.HK$113,795.00 -

The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets is terrific, offering up scents of waxy citrus zest, white currants and peach mingled with hints of sweet stones, spring flowers and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, pure and satiny, it's elegantly layered and precise, with a cool core of fruit, racy acids and a long, chalky finish. As usual, it's one of the more ethereal, mineral wines in the Coche-Dury portfolio.HK$27,120.00 -

Deep and complete, Coche's 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières unwinds in the glass with aromas of crisp Anjou pear, orange oil, honeysuckle, freshly baked bread, nutmeg, toasted sesame and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, its satiny attack segues into an ample, fleshy mid-palate that's girdled by racy acids and chalky structuring extract, concluding with a long, saline finish. Uniting texture and tension to compelling effect, this contemporary classic is the quintessential Genevrières.HK$28,095.00 -

The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières is utterly seductive, wafting from the glass with notes of pear, white flowers, clear honey, toasted hazelnuts and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's suave and seamless, with an elegant, layered profile and terrific mid-palate volume. Everything about this wine seems effortless.HK$48,515.00 -

The Coche-Durys that followed were phenomenal. The 2000 Meursault Perrières was the stronger wine at the outset. Its crisply nuanced citrus, pears and flowers provided immense pleasure. This wine literally sparkled on the palate. The 1996 Corton-Charlemagne was at first rather reticent, but over time it blossomed into the superior wine, with honeyed apricots buffered by the persistent minerality that gave the wine its very long finish. It was a breathtaking Burgundy.HK$27,730.00 -

Good pale yellow. Knockout orange and mineral nose projects an impression of force that continues onto the palate. A wonderfully silky wine of outstanding intensity and lift. This has the fine-grained texture of a grand cru, not to mention the combination of suavity and power that characterizes the best examples of Perrieres. The palate-staining finish features a whiplash of flavor. The candid Coche was quick to say that the crop level here was a healthy 52 hectoliters per hectare, but it tastes like half that. I should note that the finished wine is much more classic and vibrant than a more glyceral barrel sample I tried last year, and Coche has also upped his opinion of this beauty.HK$32,685.00 -

There were no reservations about the stellar white. The 2009 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru from Domaine Jean-François Coche-Dury is riveting from start to finish. Laser-like precision on the killer nose, it threatens to overwhelm the olfactory senses. Struck flint, citrus peel and linden, it gains intensity with aeration without ever losing an ounce of its breath-taking delineation. The palate followed suit with ethereal balance, perfect acidity, astonishing energy and a mineral-rich finish that leaves you lost for words. After 13-years, this Meursault is at its peak, though I cannot foresee any decline in the near future. Such is the magic of Coche-Dury.HK$38,050.00 -

Drawn from three parcels within Les Perrières, this is another very impressive bottling from the Coches, père et fils. It's quite a forward wine, even in barrel, but it certainly doesn't lack the acidity or concentration to age. Sweetly oaked, floral and creamy, it has flavours of lemon zest and orange peel with an overtone of honey.HK$34,000.00 -

Pale, bright lemon-yellow. Flamboyant orange zest and stone aromas come across as a bit more exotic than those of the Genevrières. On the palate, the wine's creamy soft citrus fruit is energized by powerful sappy minerality. There's great stuffing here but this very long, palate-staining wine will need time in bottle.HK$24,100.00 -

This extraordinary wine has barely evolved since its release. It still shows a very light lemon-yellow colour and youthful notes of lemon, green apple, acacia flowers, mineral and oak spice, all still enveloped in a smoky reductive shimmer. The texture is robust, with bright acidity, intense concentration and superb length. The grapes come from the two Coche parcels in Perrières-Dessus. Only just barely beginning its evolution and will probably last another 30-40 years.HK$24,150.00 -

The 2000 Meursault Village is a wine that I have tasted twice before. It has a satisfying and precise bouquet that sports a lighter reduction than other vintages, hints of brioche and baked bread unfurling with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with a mixture of white peach and white chocolate infusing the citrus fruit, becoming livelier towards the finish. One forgets that this Village Cru is actually now 18-years old and as such, it has matured with style and class. Tasted at Le Bistro de l'Hôtel in Beaune.HK$13,470.00 -

(Narvaux) Pure, discreet aromas of candied fruits and minerals. Juicy, taut and minerally, with terrific precision and grip. Long and stony on the back end. Serious juice, and precise for the vintage.HK$13,470.00 -
(3x75cl) 2003Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87-90)
(from Vireuils-Dessus) Lime, peach and spicy oak on the nose; less pristine than the Enseigneres. Sweet, soft and spicy, with a layered texture and good flavor intensity. Rich but not flat. Still holding a lot of gas but ultimately on the soft side.HK$38,025.00 -

After a splendid bottle last year, this 2004 Meursault from Domaine Coche-Dury did not hit the same stellar heights. It just did not show quite the same ethereal level of precision and focus as the previous example, perhaps more backward and reticent than I was expecting. It takes time but eventually that gunflint aroma begins to emerge and you start thinking about Coche-Dury. The palate is vibrant and captivating, very well defined with supremely well judged acidity, vibrant citrus lemon and mineral notes with a long finish. It is still a fabulous Meursault, but a point less than last time.HK$25,850.00 -

(from Les Chaumes des Perrieres) Bright, pale yellow. Tangy aromas of orange, peach and spices. Broad and lively, with intense fruit lifted by a near-perfect sugar/acid balance. Finishes with excellent cut. This is awfully good for a wine from seven-year-old vines.HK$11,540.00 -

(Narvaux; Coche bottles a few different cuvees of Meursault villages, normally noting the lieu-dit only on the back label; this wine was bought by the U.S. importer) Peach and white flowers on the nose; a real essence of Meursault perfume. Then creamy-rich and sweet, with soft citrus flavors dominating. Finishes with lovely lingering sweetness of fruit. Ridiculously sexy village wine.HK$9,015.00 -

(1x75cl) 2010Vinous (92)
(from Vireuils-Dessous): Aromas of orange oil and wet stone. Juicy on entry, then rather strict in the middle, showing noteworthy power and tension, not to mention terrific precision of stone fruit and citrus flavors. Not yet expansive; in fact, this village wine is the closest 2010 to austere today. Owing to the low volume of grapes in 2010, Coche-Dury used 15% new oak here, vs. a normal 10%. (If you see the 2010 Bourgogne Blanc, but it: with its leesy, spicy pineapple and orange blossom flavors, its rather powerful mid-palate and its whiplash of a finish, it's better than many Meursault botlings.)HK$13,360.00 -

The 2011 Meursault (Les Vireuils) has an engaging bouquet of fresh apricot, passion fruit and flint, later a subtle hint of white chocolate that lends panache. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine line of acidity and grilled walnut, almond and fresh lemon all vying for attention. Long in the mouth with a persistent finish, this is a very fine Meursault Villages, as one has come to expect from this address. Drink 2015-2030.HK$11,530.00 -

The 2012 Meursault (my sample taken from their parcel in Chaumes) has a relatively austere bouquet at first, withholding its charm and then teasing with granitic, cold stone scents. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity and then it fans out in languid fashion with the delicately spicy finish. This is sophisticated and refined.HK$23,135.00 -

The 2015 Meursault Village is showing very well, unfurling in the glass with notes of crisp yellow orchard fruit, Anjou pear, white flowers, honeycomb and hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, with beautiful balance, succulent underlying acids and an elegant framing of dry extract that lends a mouthwatering quality to the long, penetrating finish. Without either the strong cooperage or reductive signatures of yesteryear's Coche-Dury, it exemplifies the new stylistic direction taken by Raphaël Coche, and it's a terrific success, surpassing both the 2014 and 2013 renditions.HK$126,605.00 -
