Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2019 Meursault Les Chevaliers 1er Cru, of which there are just two barrels this year, has a strict and quite linear bouquet. This is holding something back. The palate is exquisitely balanced with a fine depth of flavour, heightened tension, almost crystalline with apricot and quince towards the persistent, precise finish. Stunning.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 20 Jan 22
Coche's smallest bottling performs as brilliantly as ever this year. The 2019 Meursault Les Chevalières unwinds in the glass to reveal notions of citrus zest, white flowers, blanched almonds, wet stones and pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, taut and chiseled, it's racy and concentrated, with a tensile, mineral profile that belies the fact that only a vineyard track separates the domaine's holdings in this lieu-dit from their holdings in Les Rougeots.

Meursault Fine Wine

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
