Details

Vineyard	The domain owns just under 0.7 hectares of vineyard in this Grand Cru. In 2012, Raphaël had the opportunity to purchase a plot and obviously did not hesitate for a moment. After the 2013 harvest, this vineyard was uprooted and planted with chardonnay. The soil is very rich limestone and calcareous clay.
Vinification	At Coche-Dury, the upbringing is a precise process. The élevage is much longer compared to other wines, and the contact with the lie creates the unique character of the estate's wines. Tonnelier for all barrels is the famous François Frères.
