Coche-Dury is a family-owned domaine based in Meursault in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, established by Jean-François Coche-Dury who began bottling estate wines in the 1970s. The domaine produces exclusively white wines from Chardonnay, focusing on several premier cru and village-level appellations within Meursault, along with holdings in Puligny-Montrachet and regional Bourgogne. The estate spans approximately 10 hectares of vineyards, with Jean-François now working alongside his son Raphaël to continue the family tradition.

The domaine follows traditional Burgundian winemaking practices, employing wild yeast fermentations and aging wines in French oak barrels with minimal intervention. Their Chardonnays are known for their mineral precision and ability to express terroir characteristics, whether from premier cru sites like Meursault Les Perrières or village-level parcels. The wines typically undergo malolactic fermentation and extended lees aging, developing complexity while maintaining the bright acidity characteristic of well-made Burgundian Chardonnay.

The current offering includes their Bourgogne Blanc, which represents the estate's regional-level Chardonnay production. This wine typically comes from younger vines or parcels that fall outside their more specific appellations, yet maintains the house style of clean, mineral-driven Chardonnay that serves as an introduction to the domaine's approach to Burgundian white wine production.

Meursault is a village appellation in the Côte de Beaune section of Burgundy, France, located between Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet. The appellation covers approximately 400 hectares of vineyards on the slopes and plateau above the village, with premier cru vineyards including Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, Les Charmes, and Les Gouttes d'Or among others.

The terroir consists primarily of limestone and marl soils with varying compositions across different vineyard sites. Chardonnay is the predominant grape variety, accounting for the vast majority of plantings, though small amounts of Pinot Noir are also grown. The continental climate features warm summers and cool winters, with the east and southeast-facing slopes providing optimal sun exposure. Traditional Burgundian winemaking methods are employed, typically involving fermentation and aging in oak barrels with varying degrees of new wood depending on the producer's style.

Meursault wines are characterized by their rich, full-bodied style with distinctive nutty and buttery qualities often accompanied by citrus and stone fruit flavors. The wines generally display more power and weight than neighboring appellations like Puligny-Montrachet, with a rounder mouthfeel and less mineral-driven character. Premier cru vineyards tend to produce wines with greater concentration and complexity, while village-level wines offer approachable expressions of the appellation's signature style with good aging potential of 5-10 years.
