2011 DOMAINE COCHE-DURY Auxey-Duresses Rouge

While Domaine Coche-Dury is the undisputed global icon for white Burgundy, their red wines are highly prized for their transparency, structural elegance, and remarkable expression of Pinot Noir. Sourced from meticulously managed parcels in Auxey-Duresses, this wine benefits from the same world-class vineyard management and obsessive attention to detail that defines the estate's legendary reputation. The 2011 vintage in Burgundy is often characterized as a "vigneron's year," favoring producers who employed precise vineyard work to achieve balance. In the hands of the Coche family, this resulted in a wine of exceptional aromatic purity and refined texture. Following their philosophy of "vinification douce" (soft vinification), the fruit was handled with extreme care to preserve its innate acidity and terroir-driven character. Aged for up to 22 months in oak and bottled unfiltered, the 2011 Auxey-Duresses Rouge is a sophisticated expression that has evolved beautifully, showcasing a perfect marriage of fruit and earthy complexity.
