Meursault Blanc 2007 Coche Dury

Meursault 2007 – Coche-Dury

A classic and vibrant vintage full of tension and finesse

The 2007 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a cool summer and a sunny September, resulting in slow and balanced ripening. In this context, Coche-Dury crafted a Meursault of striking energy and purity. More linear and mineral than warmer vintages, it expresses elegance and age-worthy freshness.

Spontaneous fermentation in French oak barrels with indigenous yeasts. Moderate bâtonnage and 18 months of ageing in barrique (30% new). No fining or filtration.

100% Chardonnay

Coche-Dury

The Burgundy Icon That Defined the Style of Chardonnay

Coche-Dury is widely regarded as one of the most legendary names in the Côte de Beaune and across Burgundy. Based in Meursault, the domaine cultivates some of the most revered Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards, crafting wines of unparalleled purity and exceptional aging potential. Founded in the early 20th century, the estate rose to prominence under Jean-François Coche and is now run by his son Raphaël, who continues the house style with precision and integrity.

Philosophy

Vineyard work is meticulous and entirely manual, with very low yields and a deep respect for the soil. Treatments are kept to a strict minimum, reflecting a sustainable approach, though the estate is not certified organic. Harvesting is done by hand with rigorous grape selection.

In the cellar, white wines ferment and age in Burgundy oak barrels, with carefully controlled bâtonnage and a notable use of new wood (up to 50% for top crus). The red wines, though less known, are elegant and age-worthy, undergoing whole-cluster fermentation and long aging periods. Every detail is crafted to perfection, resulting in wines that are both artisanal and precise.

Vineyards

Coche-Dury owns around 10 hectares, with vines in Meursault (including renowned lieux-dits like Perrières, Genevrières, and Chevalières), Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Volnay, and the Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne. The vineyard age is high, and the viticulture is intensive and manual.

Wine Style

Coche-Dury’s Meursaults are unmistakable: structured, deeply mineral, and cut with razor-sharp freshness. The nose is striking, offering notes of hazelnut, flint, citrus, and butter, while the palate is tense, saline, and impressively long. The reds from Volnay and Monthelie are equally refined, fruit-pure, and built for the long haul.

A Rare Gem

Coche-Dury wines are among the most sought-after in the world. Production is tiny, demand is huge, and every bottle represents the pinnacle of authentic, handcrafted Burgundy.
