2017 DOMAINE COCHE-DURY Auxey-Duresses Rouge

While Domaine Coche-Dury is the undisputed global icon for white Burgundy, their red wines are increasingly sought after for their purity, elegance, and remarkable expression of the Pinot Noir grape. Sourced from meticulously managed parcels in Auxey-Duresses, this wine benefits from the same world-class vineyard management and "simple vigneron" humility that defines the estate's legacy. The 2017 vintage in Burgundy is celebrated as a "very good" and classic year, where vines showed resilience following a difficult 2016. Raphael Coche continues the family tradition of "vinification douce" (soft vinification), ensuring the grapes' innate acidity and terroir are the stars of the glass. Aged in oak for up to 22 months and bottled unfiltered, the 2017 Auxey-Duresses Rouge is a testament to the domaine’s ability to craft reds with both structural integrity and a seductive, sophisticated charm.
