Situated in Meursault, Domaine Coche-Dury was formed in 1973, following the marriage of Jean-François Coche and Odile Dury. Its total holdings represent approximately nine hectares of vines, about half of which are in Meursault itself.

"The 2018 Meursault Les Caillerets 1er Cru has tremendous lift on the nose, along with spine-tingling definition and focus to the mineral-rich yellow plum, honeysuckle and hazelnut aromas. The palate is very well defined with great depth, spicier than the Rougeots alongside, and a very persistent finish. This deserves time in bottle, (VM, 94 points)". (75cl)

This release is the domaine’s 2006 Les Enseignères, the most renowned of the Puligny-Montrachet villages, thanks to its exceptional geographical and geological location. (75cl)

Domaine d’Auvenay, owned and operated by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, sits at the very highest echelon of white Burgundy production with wines that are almost unparalleled in their rarity, extraordinary quality and remarkable longevity. (75cl)

A restrained nose flirts with the exotic while requiring aggressive swirling to eventually reveal aromas of essence of pear and apple compote, passion fruit, tangerine peel, spice and a subtle but not invisible touch of wood. The dense, opulent and caressing big-bodied flavors possess outstanding mid-palate concentration thanks to the copious amount of sappy dry extract that also buffers the citrus-tinged acidity shaping the hugely long, youthfully austere, dry and gorgeously complex finish. This is at once powerful and muscular yet for all of the imposing size and weight, the balance is impeccable save for a minor touch of warmth. Even so, there is a real sense of harmony that should enable this exceptionally tightly wound beauty to age gracefully for years to come. This is sublime and while 2017 is not the best young Montrachet that I have tasted from the Domaine, but among them and this has the potential to be genuinely great as it should have no problem making for very old bones.

Lalou Bize-Leroy is the first lady of Burgundy, and Domaine D'Auvenay is a most special place to her. From the importer: "Domaine d’Auvenay is an old hunting lodge and the home Lalou shared with her late husband, Marcel. Lalou lives on a plateau overlooking the working farm, where barley and corn are grown. Under the d’Auvenay label, Lalou produces biodynamic, estate-grown village, 1er and Grand Cru wines. These small-batch wines display supreme elegance and precision, with a richness that is both complex and easy to digest. This is her labor of love, where she exhibits the entirety of her wine growing and wine making abilities, producing truly perfect wines." - 75cl

Decanter: 97/100 : “ The 2019 vintage of Château d'Yquem has the highest proportion (45%) of Sauvignon Blanc in any modern Yquem. The Sauvignon Blanc adds to the freshness, acting as a great balance to the succulent, sweet and voluptuous palate. Intense peach and apricot, combined with lemon and orange zest, make this highly appealing to drink right away – an ideal vintage with which to start Yquem's 'lighthouse' project. However, it would be a shame not to give this 10+ years maturation to see how it develops. Very well, I suspect. The growing season was both warm and wet, with mildew a big threat. After a mostly dry September, 40mm rain came at the end of the month, leading to a very short harvest window. All of the Yquem grapes were picked in two tries within a one-week period. Residual Sugar: 138g/L ”. - 600cl

Good deep red. Wild, slightly reduced aromas of musky raspberry, game and earth. Then juicy and gripping on the palate but still quite tight and not yet revealing its inherent complexity. This fascinating, primary, mineral- and soil-driven wine needs a good decade of cellaring. Vinious 01-03-2010 / 93+ / 75cl

This is brilliant. Incredibly complex mélange of Bartlett pear fruit and innumerable minerals and delicate herbs. Pale and gorgeous. Steely yet not at all austere. Arguably the ultimate Perrières. Mature and at peak and no oxidation. - 75cl

La Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is a monopole vineyard of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and is often singled out as Burgundy’s greatest terroir. Originally called Cros des Cloux, this hallowed vineyard has a long and illustrious history, but its more modern era began with the first new vintage bottling from DRC in 1952, after replanting of the vines in 1947-48. The 2006 displays floral aromatics on the nose, together with raspberry, spice and earthy nuances.

Based in Meursault, Coche-Dury is a well-known estate producing some of the finest white wines in Burgundy, ranging from simple Bourgogne Blanc to top-end grand cru expressions. This release is the domaine’s Corton-Charlemagne from the stellar 2014 vintage. The nose is radiant, with pure fruit at the core, followed by hints of popcorn and salty butter. On the palate, the wine is laser focused and perfectly balanced. Very approachable right now with obvious long-term aging potential.

Aged in four used barrels, the 2021 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Blanc has quite a pithy, honeysuckle and melted wax-scented bouquet, very different from other Chardonnays (sometimes more like a fine Pinot Blanc from Alsace!) The palate is very well balanced with a slight viscosity, lively, spicy with ginger and lemongrass, very feisty on the finish. Lovely. (Vinious 91-93)

There is a subtle note of petrol is present on the admirably pure and cool aromas of apple, pear, lemon-lime and mineral reduction. The succulent, concentrated and almost painfully intense larger-scaled flavors brim with both dry extract and an almost aggressive stoniness that adds a sense of lift to the powerful yet refined, chalky and youthfully austere finale. Like the '21 version, this compact, bone-dry and borderline tannic effort is clearly very backward, and I would expect an almost glacial evolution in bottle though it should be well worth the wait. A classic Musigny blanc. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (91), June 2023
