Meursault 2015 Coche Dury

The 2015 Meursault Village is showing very well, unfurling in the glass with notes of crisp yellow orchard fruit, Anjou pear, white flowers, honeycomb and hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, with beautiful balance, succulent underlying acids and an elegant framing of dry extract that lends a mouthwatering quality to the long, penetrating finish. Without either the strong cooperage or reductive signatures of yesteryear’s Coche-Dury, it exemplifies the new stylistic direction taken by Raphaël Coche, and it’s a terrific success, surpassing both the 2014 and 2013 renditions.
