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:

93 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The 2017 Meursault Village is a brilliant young wine, unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp Anjou pear, green apple, dried white flowers, toasted sesame and hazelnuts. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and elegantly satiny, with racy acids, discrete structuring dry extract, and a long, elegantly chalky finish. Raphaël Coche thinks this will prove reminiscent of the domaine's 2001—in so far as the 2001 drank well in its youth, but despite its youthful precocity, it proved surprisingly long lived. Here, the expressiveness of the vintage meets the tensile, age-worthy Coche style to great effect. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes. Drink 2024-2050." - William Kelley (Jan 2020)

91 Points - Allen Meadows' BurgHound:
"A background whiff of reduction isn't enough to detract from the otherwise very Meursault nose combining notes of hazelnut and acacia blossom with those of apple compote, spice and a whisper of brown butter. The impressively rich medium-bodied flavors possess very good volume and evident minerality on the bitter lemon-inflected finish that manages to deliver fine length even though it is still pretty tightly wrapped. Not surprisingly at only 6 years of age, this is still very much on the way up and I would suggest allowing it to continue to slumber for at least another 2 to 3 years and 6 to 8 would almost certainly be better. Lovely juice." (Sep 2023)
