Domaine Coche-Dury
A small, fiercely sought-after Meursault domaine universally ranked among the very finest white-wine makers in Burgundy.
About Domaine
Domaine Coche-Dury is one of Burgundy's most coveted white-wine producers, a small Meursault estate whose chardonnays command cult prices and near-mythical status. The estate was established in the 1920s by Léon Coche, expanded by Georges Coche from 1964, and given its modern identity when Jean-François Coche took over in 1973 and married Odile Dury in 1975, joining the two family names. Under Jean-François the domaine's reputation soared, and since 2010 his son Raphaël has led the winemaking. Farming roughly nine hectares and producing only about 3,500 cases a year, Coche-Dury bottles meticulous, long-lived Meursault village and premier cru wines plus a tiny quantity of Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru regarded as one of the greatest white wines in the world. The style is reductive, tightly structured and built for the cellar. Scarcity and demand make its bottles among the most expensive dry whites in Burgundy.

Editorial notes
Extremely scarce and allocation-only; expect a steep premium. Wines are built to age and often reward a decade-plus in the cellar.
