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.
