Domaine Coche Dury

 

Raphael Coche continues the legendary work of his father, Jean Francois, maintaining Domaine Coche Dury as one of the most mythical and sought after estates in all of Burgundy. While universally revered for their transcendent white wines from Meursault, the Domaine also produces exceptionally pure, terroir driven Pinot Noir. The viticultural approach is fanatical, with severe pruning and plowing by horse to naturally limit yields. Winemaking is traditional and uncompromising, yielding red wines of profound depth, precise aromatics, and incredible aging potential. Acquiring any bottle bearing the Coche Dury label is a rare privilege for serious collectors.

 

Domaine Coche Dury Monthelie 2023

 

The 2023 Monthelie is a brilliant demonstration of Coche Dury’s mastery over Pinot Noir and an essential pre arrival acquisition for the dedicated Ontario collector. Sourced from a severely overlooked appellation neighboring Volnay, this wine delivers extraordinary pedigree and elegance. The 2023 vintage provided ideal conditions for achieving perfect ripeness while retaining vibrant freshness. This Monthelie is incredibly expressive in its youth but possesses the structural integrity and fine grained tannins necessary to evolve beautifully in the cellar. It is a rare opportunity to experience the highly allocated Coche Dury magic in a red format.

  • Appellation: Monthelie

  • Vintage: 2023
