2008 Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault Les Caillerets 1er Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / MEURSAULT
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 93
A sexy note of orange blossom on the steely nose. Suave and streamlined; structured but not quite austere. There's no shortage of fat to the creamy orange flavor but the finish is quite firm, not to mention very long and perfumed. Lovely wine.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: September/October 2010Jancis Robinson | Rating: 18
Nervy, sinewy, racy and then opulent on the finish. Just glorious. It was at this point I wrote in my notebook in capitals NO PROBLEMS RE '08S HERE!Author: Jancis Robinson
According to Robert Parker, "Jean-Francois Coche-Dury is one of the greatest winemakers on planet Earth." Parker' impassioned reverence to this estate in the late '80s brought its appeal worldwide, but neither triple digit scores nor critical acclaim need speak for the insanely low yields and meticulous winemaking that give Domaine Coche-Dury its mystique.
Approximately half of the domaine's nine hectares of vineyards are situated around its hometown of Meursault, and although Coche is best known for Chardonnay, the domaine also bottles six exquisite Pinot Noirs. Famous for the extensive oak treatment and a staggering 22 months in barrel, Coche Dury's finest wines, such as Corton Charlemagne and Meursault Perrieres, have power, concentration, purity, and depth balanced by vibrant acidity for extreme longevity.
