2015 Coche-Dury, Meursault, Bottle (750ml)

Coche-Dury’s village Meursault has long been the benchmark argument that a village-level wine can rival Premier and even Grand Cru bottlings elsewhere, a point proven consistently across vintages at the estate.

2015 marks a wine made under Raphaël Coche’s own stylistic direction: less driven by heavy cooperage or the intense reductive character the domaine was once known for, and showing instead as more open, pure, and immediately generous, a reflection of a warm, ripe vintage across the Côte de Beaune.

Recent tasting notes have consistently described this bottling as powerful yet remarkably balanced, with real concentration and a signature flinty, mineral-driven core layered under notes of orchard fruit, white flowers, and toasted hazelnut. It’s drinking beautifully right now, generous and expressive, while still carrying the acid backbone and structure to hold its current form for years to come without losing freshness.

This is village Meursault doing what only Coche-Dury can: delivering real complexity and length at a level most producers reserve for their top sites.

"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."
