Domaine Jean-François Coche-Dury is a leading producer in Burgundy, famed for producing some of the most in-demand white wines in the world. Today, the estate is led by Raphaël Coche-Dury and consists of approximately nine hectares, predominantly in and around their winery in Meursault. This particular release comes from Perrières, a premier cru vineyard situated at the southern end of Meursault – considered by many to be the best terroir of the region. The 1999 vintage is a fresh and precise expression, offering a superb balance between floral notes, citrus fruit, roasted hazelnuts and a saline edge.
Reviews:
- Wine Advocate: The 1999 Meursault Perrieres has a shy yet deep, smoke, mineral, and spice-laden nose. This highly refined, gorgeously detailed wine is packed with minerals, toast, spices, and crisp pears. Medium-bodied, concentrated, and harmonious, this beautiful offering also possesses an extremely long and pure finish.
