J.-F. Coche-Dury, Meursault 2008

The 2008 white burgundies are very extrovert and charming, but it seems they are closing slightly down now. The 2008 Meursault from Coche Dury is a really flamboyant and bold wine. On the nose a fine minerality, fresh vibrant acidity, hay, and a slight note of popcorn and gun powder. On the palate quite luch and juicy fruit, wonderfully balanced by the playful 2008 acidity. Not the most refined and complex wine, but my god it’s charming and joyful. Need at least 8 to 10 years to show the full pontential.

This wine is most likely produced on the vineyard Les Narvaux, one of the 5 or 6 single vineyard Meursault sold as Coche Dury Meursault.

(Drink from 2020) Fine – 91p
