FEATURES
The 2015 Coche Dury Meursault Les Perrieres 1er Cru hails from a heralded Burgundy vintage, celebrated for its near-perfect growing season that yielded wines of profound complexity and startling vivacity. This particular Meursault is described as extraordinary and among the finest white Burgundies of its vintage, showcasing a remarkably flamboyant and expressive character even in its youth. The domaine, under Raphaël Coche, has subtly evolved its style over the past decade, embracing less new oak and bâtonnage to allow the pure expression of its terroir to shine through.
Tasting this exquisite white Burgundy reveals a burst of aromas, including toasted nuts, confit citrus, iodine, and a hint of smoke. It gracefully unfurls notes of lemon oil, Anjou pear, crushed chalk, almond paste, and subtle sesame oil, all elegantly framed by a judicious touch of new oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, immensely concentrated, and persistent, boasting a satiny texture, stunning mid-palate depth, and an unerringly precise, long finish. It truly stands as a masterpiece of controlled power.
Food pairing suggestions: This rich and complex Meursault would be a magnificent partner for pan-seared scallops with a beurre blanc sauce, roasted guinea fowl with wild mushrooms, or a creamy lobster risotto. For a Western pairing, consider a classic Coquilles Saint-Jacques. An Eastern match could be steamed garoupa with ginger and spring onion, or a delicate chicken and truffle soup.
Event suggestions: This is a wine for significant celebrations, a sophisticated dinner party, or for the discerning collector looking to add a gem to their cellar. Its poised evolution promises further depth with bottle maturation, making it an excellent choice for a milestone anniversary or a high-end tasting event. 【Masterpiece of controlled power and profound complexity from a near-perfect vintage】
