2015 Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THE WINE

This Meursault from Domaine Coche‑Dury embodies the harmony of power and finesse that has defined the estate’s white Burgundies for generations. Crafted from old‑vine Chardonnay grown on classic Meursault limestone and clay soils, the wine displays a spectrum of aromas—from crisp citrus and orchard fruit to rich hazelnut, beeswax and subtle flint. The 2015 vintage contributed warm ripening conditions that brought concentration and ripeness while maintaining energetic acidity. In the cellar, careful whole‑cluster pressing, gentle natural fermentation and judicious oak aging (often in older barrels) allow purity of fruit and site expression to shine without overt oak influence. This is a wine of nuance and persistence—beautiful now (especially with careful decanting) and building even greater complexity with extended cellar time. Ideal pairings include butter‑poached lobster, truffle chicken, roasted halibut with beurre blanc or aged Comté.
