The 2022 Coche Dury Bourgogne Blanc is a 100% Chardonnay from parcels surrounding the Meursault cellars, fermented with spontaneous wild yeast in barrels with judicious new oak treatment. The 2022 vintage was sunny and dry, with rainfall in late July regenerating the vines, allowing the wines to retain freshness. This wine is described as a distilled version of the estate's philosophy, offering bright citrus, mirabelle stone fruit, and a signature baked bread and crushed stone minerality. It is approachable but never simple, rewarding attention without demanding complexity. Aromas include lemon, green apple, white flowers, subtle notes of toast and spice, sweet citrus fruit, mirabelle, freshly baked bread, and vanilla pod. The palate reveals remarkable depth and precision for its appellation level, with vibrant acidity and impressive length, a satiny and seamless texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish. 【It drinks well above its level, often rivaling or exceeding village wines from lesser estates in complexity.】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include lighter seafood like halibut or scallops, fresh goat cheese, roasted chicken with herbs, grilled fish, shellfish, or light pasta dishes. Specific recommendations include roasted chicken with tarragon butter, grilled Dover sole, Comté cheese, Coquilles Saint-Jacques in cream sauce, or a simple endive and walnut salad. 🥂 This wine is excellent for sipping neat, especially with a slight chill and proper glassware. It's ideal for collecting and cellaring alongside other top Burgundy whites from the 2022 vintage, gifting a serious Burgundy enthusiast, pairing with an elegant seafood dinner at home, or opening on a milestone occasion where an extraordinary Chardonnay is desired without committing to a Grand Cru.
