The 2018 Auxey-Duresses Village has more refinement and purity than the Meursault Rouge, offering gorgeous aromas of red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit with veins of blueberry. The palate is very powerful with huge grip for an Auxey-Duresses that will guarantee its longevity. Quite a masculine red in some ways but totally compelling. One of those coche dury meursault 2018 wines to grab if you find it for a decent price on a restaurant list, and for me personally, preferable to the aforementioned Meursault. A long wine life indicates a great wine, so we use longevity in our quality assessment, applying a modest weighting. The Classic 1996 Vintage from Coche-Dury stands out as a remarkable year for wine enthusiasts.
Its texture is a study in silkiness that can both enrapture now and promise even deeper complexity with patient cellaring. Sadly the nose of acrid silage meant that drinking the wine was a very unpleasant experience. This almost seemed both oxidised and heavily reduced if that is possible. The palate was reminiscent of apple cider but the acidity was ok.
Besides the village wines makes Jean-Francois Coche also makes three 1er crus Meursault Caillerets, Meursault Perriere and Meursault Genevriers. The first two have been made for many years, while Genevrieres was added to the domaine in 2003. In addition to the three Meursault 1er crus, he also makes Puligny-Montrachet Enseignères, and a legendary Corton-Charlemagne, which is nearly impossible to find – and cost a fortune. The production of wine are scattered in a large number of vineyards, see the table below, and on most of these vineyards Coche-Dury have less than one hectare. The 4.25 ha Meursault village is spread over 5 to 6 parcels typically vinified and bottled separately.
The vines are pruned fairly heavily, and he only use “green harvest” very rarely. They use no form of pesticides in wine production at Coche Dury, fields plowed and cultivated very carefully to maintain the ecological balance. I drink a fair amount of Coche Meursault, but more often single bottles versus a vertical. Overall this was a great group, and they showed well individually and even better as a whole. And the 17 was even better and is drinking perfectly.
This boasts good depth and length, though somehow just a little conservative when compared directly with the ensuing vintage. A more deeply pitched and earthier nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark berries, newly turned earth and a hint of underbrush character. The attractively textured medium weight flavors possess very good density and only moderate rusticity on the even more complex and persistent finish. This is worth checking out plus it should repay 5 to 8 years of cellaring. NB. This wine-level price is the average price of all vintages in our database, with a higher weighting for the most recent vintage, and gradually decreasing impact on the average for older vintages. This may differ from the price shown above as it is the average price over three months, as opposed to the current price.
