2016 Domaine Coche-Dury Bourgogne Chardonnay Burgundy

Coche-Dury is a highly regarded producer based in Meursault, Burgundy. While they make some red wines from Pinot Noir, the house is famous for its highly collectible white wines made from Chardonnay. In fact, Coche-Dury's Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru wine is consistently ranked among the top 100 most expensive wines available on Wine-Searcher.

The Domaine was founded in the 1970s following the marriage of Jean-François Coche and Odile Dury, although the Coche family has been making wine in Meursault for several generations. Now, as well as holdings in Meursault, the family have vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Volnay and in the Corton Grand Cru vineyard. All up, the Coche-Dury holdings represent around nine hectares (22 acres) worth, about half of which are in Meursault itself.

Robert Parker Fully two-thirds of the Coche-Dury 2016 Bourgogne Chardonnay cuvée is declassified Mâcon-Villages this year, as Raphaël Coche was anxious to make up the volume that he had lost to frost, both to keep the domaine's long-time clients happy and to maintain the domaine's used barrels in good condition for the following vintage. Only two lots were deemed up to standard, one from the extreme north of the Mâconnais and the other from the south, so these were included in the blend while the others were sold in bulk. Offering up aromas of green orchard fruit, mint and almond paste, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny textured and tangy, concluding with an attractively stony finish. While the wine displays somewhat more flesh on its bones than is typical of this cuvée in a cool vintage such as 2016, it carries its producer's signature and will deliver a great deal of pleasure over the coming decade.
