Domaine Coche-Dury

Raphaël Coche

Since 2010, Raphaël Coche has been in charge of the family estate in Meursault, founded in 1923 by Léon Coche. From his earliest youth, he learned the art of winemaking from his father Jean-François, and since 1997 he has worked in the domains' cellars and vineyards. Since 2010, he has been in charge and little or nothing has changed in the cellar. The different wines are counted among the best of the village Meursault and perhaps among the best of Burgundy. According to the Coche family, wines are made in the cellar, but certainly also in the vineyard. This is where Raphaël can be found from early in the morning until late in the afternoon. The wines are given a long "elevage" and benefit from cellar ageing. The domain owns about 11 hectares of vineyards, most of which are situated in the appellation Meursault. Famous are the Premier Cru's Les Perrières, Genevrières and Les Caillerets. Outside Meursault he also owns a vineyard in the Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne, the cult wine of the domain. Other vineyards can be found in Volnay, Monthélie, Auxey-Duresses and Puligny-Montrachet. The Coche family is a great advocate of intensive vineyard management. The timing of the harvest is always carefully chosen and Raphaël favours a ripe harvest. "Late harvesting ensures the preservation potential of my wines" is always the answer when asked. He also learned the art of vinification from his father, where long contact with the lees is essential and is done with almost surgical precision. The wines of Domaine Coche-Dury are exclusively available on allocation and only for our customers in The Netherlands.

Raphaël Coche

Born in 1982 and father of 2 children, he has been responsible for the family domain for several years now. Just like his father Raphaël sees that it is very important to stay close to the vineyards and to work a lot in the cellar. Raphaël works in the same traditional way as his father: long ageing on the lie, long ageing on barrique and bottling from the barrel with "la chèvre au deux becs. This is a tap that is hitched to the barrel and the wine is bottled from the barrel by the bottle. A time-consuming process, but the wine is treated with great respect this way. Raphaël travels little and receives almost no journalists. Everything is focused on making unique wines, doing justice to the enormous reputation of the domain.

Bourgogne pinot noir

The reds are the challenge for Raphaël. In a recent interview, he said he wants to improve there and that he disagrees with his father. He is looking for more concentration and maturity. Something that can be clearly tasted in the wines in recent years.

Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières

One of the signature wines of the domain. This is absolute world class, a wine that is often marketed later than the other wines. A wine that needs cellar ageing out of respect. A lot of minerality, an enormous depth and simply impressive. This wine can easily compete with Grand Cru's from the neighbouring municipality.

Meursault Les Rougeots

Wine with a lot of stone fruit like peach in the aroma and taste, as well as hazelnut and clear notes of the wood storage. It is striking that Les Rougeots always has the typical "flint" very strong, the tone that the wines of Coche-Dury are known for. The wine has a good rich attack with good acidity.

Burgundy Wines

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
