🏰 **Coche-Dury Meursault 1991 is a rare and highly sought-after white Burgundy from a legendary producer, known for crafting wines of unmatched precision, depth, and individuality.** Despite 1991 being a challenging year for growers with severe frost, Coche-Dury's Meursault 1991 is described as excellent, possessing plenty of fat and ripeness, with lovely mineral, smoky, nutty, and creamy fruit. While the 1991 white Burgundies generally didn't capture widespread imagination, some attractive wines were found, and this Coche-Dury is noted for its decadent, rich, and lusty character. Its low acidity suggests it's a wine to be enjoyed now.
🍴 This mature Meursault would be an astonishing match for black truffles and scrambled egg, rich seafood like pan-seared foie gras, or roasted poultry with a creamy sauce. For a luxurious pairing, consider lobster thermidor or aged Comté cheese.
🥂 Ideal for a very special anniversary dinner, a connoisseur's tasting event, or a momentous celebration where a truly exceptional and rare wine is desired. Given its age, expect potential variations in bottle condition due to cork and capsule. Serving this wine requires a gentle hand; ensure the bottle has been standing upright for several days to allow any sediment to settle. Decanting is generally not recommended for very old white wines, as it can cause them to fade quickly. Serve slightly chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F), to allow its complex aromas to unfold gradually.
