About this Item
The Coche-Dury estate was founded by Jean-François Coche’s grandfather in 1920. Jean-François Coche-Dury inherited the estate in 1972 and today runs the domaine with his son, Raphael. While they produce some of the best white wines from Burgundy, and have achieved cult status, their red Crus are equally as fine. The Coche-Dury wine-making practices are very traditional with exceptional attention to detail given.

Critics Ratings
‘Greenish straw. Green and reductive on the nose. Very rich on the front and mid palate and then dry on the end. Really quite open and ready. Tastes as though its probably more than 12.5% alcohol. Bone dry finish after the richness. Long.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Aug 2018)
‘The 2009 Meursault is similarly rich and tropical, but also comes across as quite young next to the 2002, which is an ever-present reminder of how these wines can age. Although the 2009 is gorgeous, if I owned it, I would try to give it more time in bottle.’ - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100 (Feb 2020)
‘The 2009 Meursault Villages is drinking brilliantly, wafting from the glass with a beautiful nose of preserved citrus, crisp peach, nougat and honeysuckle. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, layered and elegantly textural—glossier and more sweetly sun-kissed than the 2008 drank alongside it but bright and precise nonetheless, with beautiful energy and delineation on the finish.’ - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Dec 2018)
