DOMAINE COCHE-DURY'S JEWEL IN THE FAMILY CROWN
Jean-François Coche-Dury has a magic touch as a white wine-maker, producing beautifully integrated, creamily-textured wines of delicacy, character and length. They are normally neither fined nor filtered, and in my experience are often at their best drunk relatively young. He is known mainly for his brilliant Meursaults, but also makes small quantities of Corton-Charlemagne.
--Anthony Hanson, M.W.
HISTORY
The wines eminating from Coche-Dury were not always famous. Not in the way like those of Romanée-Conti or Comte de Vogüé's Musigny, Vieilles Vignes have been. In some ways the domaine had to be discovered, and American drinkers have ex-pat Becky Wasserman to thank for the fortuitous discovery of their wine. The domaine itself was formed in the 1920's by Léon Coche who acquired various parcels around Meursault, selling a small proportion in bottle but as was customary then, selling the bulk to negociants. In time some of this land passed through inheritance to his son Julien which first formed Domaine Coche-Debord, then Coche-Bizouard. Léon's daughter, Marthe (now under Domaine Guy Roulot) inherited some as well as his other son Georges.
Georges acquired his share of the domaine in 1964 and augmented his holdings by another 16 parcels which included Volnay 1er crus in Clos des Chênes and Taille Pieds as well as 1er cru Meursault Perrières. Georges Coche is father to Jean-François and since his son's taking of the helm in 1973 the domaine has gone from strength-to-strength. The Jean-François era is marked by a rise in domaine-bottling and as result so too has its recognition and reputation.
THE JEWEL IN THE FAMILY CROWN
In 1986 Jean-François acquired a tiny parcel above the village of Aloxe-Corton in the lieu-dit called Sous-la-Croix. This meager swathe of precious land yields a spartan six-casks worth of nectar in which to make his Corton-Charlemagne. With such scarsity it is no wonder that there are more people who have heard about this legendary wine than have actually experienced it !
