The 2012 Meursault Village Rouge, of which there is just a barrel and a half, has a lively strawberry and pomegranate bouquet. The palate is balanced with a keen thread of acidity, although I noticed just a slight greenness coming through on the finish, ergo the more parsimonious score for now.

Producer Information
Coche-Dury is a highly regarded producer based in Meursault, Burgundy. While they make some red wines from Pinot Noir, the house is famous for its highly collectible white wines made from Chardonnay. In fact, Coche-Dury’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru wine is consistently ranked among the top 100 most expensive wines available on Wine-Searcher.The Domaine was founded in 1973, following the marriage of Jean-François Coche and Odile Dury, although the Coche family has been making wine in Meursault for several generations. Now, as well as holdings in Meursault, the family have vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Volnay and in the Corton Grand Cru vineyard.In total, the Coche-Dury holdings represent just over nine hectares (22 acres), about half of which are in Meursault itself.
