Tasting notes
The 1992 Meursault Les Rougeots sports a deep straw hue. The nose feels fully mature with scents of dried honey, beeswax and dandelion, although it is not quite as delineated as the 1992 Perrières. But the palate is actually better than the aromatics with a fine bead of acidity and pretty citrus fruits that develop wild mushroom and peppery scents with aeration. It just fades a touch on the finish and does not deliver the length that Coche-Dury’s Premier Crus achieved this vintage. Tasted at Tour d’Argent restaurant in Paris.

In 1992, Coche's yields were higher than he would have liked. For the first time Coche will be offering some of his Meursaults with their vineyard name, rather than blending them together into a village Meursault. There are five separate single vineyard Meursault cuvees. The 1992 Meursault-Les Rougeot is forceful, dramatic, flamboyant wines loaded with honeyed, hazelnut-scented fruit, full body, unctuously thick, rich textures, low acidity, and plenty of power, alcohol, glycerin, and fruit. Rougeot is more expansive and longer than Les Chevalieres. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA.
