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


96 Points - Decanter Magazine:
"Village Meursault is the largest cuvée from Coche. It is based on two parcels in Narvaux, up the slope from Premier Cru Genevrières. Like its neighbour, it has an incredibly exotic nose with tropical and citrus fruit. The spice and smoke from the cask play a well-integrated but supporting role, and the texture combines a lush, silky feel with lively acidity and impressive length. It is simply superb and provides much more pleasure than the premiers crus of most producers and at least as much potential to age. – Charles Curtis (Sep 2021)

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"Aromas of crisp Anjou pear, lime zest, orange oil, fresh hazelnuts and white flowers introduce the 2019 Meursault Village, a medium to full-bodied, layered and incisive wine that's chalky and concentrated, with racy acids and an abundance of structuring dry extract. When I was served this wine blind a month after tasting it at the domaine, I mistook it for its 2017 counterpart, which should give some indication of the pitch-perfect balance Raphaël Coche succeeded in attaining in the more extreme 2019 vintage." – William Kelley (Jan 2022)
