About the Winery:
The Domaine was established in the 1920s by Leon Coche. Some vineyard plots with established grapevines were purchased and Leon bottled some wine himself. The vineyard land was passed down to Leon's three children, with Georges Coche taking control of his share in 1964 and continuing to run the estate and purchase new vineyard land. Jean-Francois Coche took over from his father Georges, on his fathers retirement in 1973. Jean-Francois's wife has the surname Dury which was added to the name of the estate.
Jean-Francois Coche officially retired in 2010 but there will clearly be continuity of style in the hands of his son Raphael who has been working alongside his father since 2003. There have been some changes already in the detail: the vineyards are now all ploughed, and a pneumatic press has been ordered to work alongside the old mechanical Vaslin.
The wines are firmly crushed before pressing, which must surely be a factor in the Coche-Dury style, then fermented and matured in barrels using a relatively low percentage of new wood, not exceeding 25% except for the very top wines.

Ratings & Reviews
91 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc has a delineated and focused bouquet that shrugs off the warmth of the growing season. It offers citrus peel, hints of chamomile and crushed stone. The palate is well balanced with a dab of stem ginger that defines the finish. There's plenty of energy coiled up in this Bourgogne Blanc and wonderful length. This is excellent." - Neal Martin (Jan 2025)
90 Points - Wine Advocate:
"From parcels situated around the domaine itself, the 2022 Bourgogne Blanc offers up aromas of sweet citrus fruit, mirabelle, freshly baked bread and vanilla pod, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless palate with excellent depth and grip." - William Kelley (Jan 2025)
