2019 Coche-Dury, Bourgogne, Chardonnay, Bottle (750ml)
"The 2019 Bourgogne Blanc is showing especially well, offering up aromas of pear, citrus zest, hazelnut and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and impressively concentrated palate. Elegantly textural and fine boned, it's a serious wine that punches above its weight." WK for WA Jan 2022
As I have written before, recent vintages have witnessed a stylistic evolution at Domaine Coche-Dury. In Raphaël Coche's words, the domaine now works with "less new oak, less bâtonnage and less heavy lees." The distinctively toasty, sometimes reductive signature that marked out the Coche-Dury wines of yesteryear is less pronounced. And what of the wines? The 2019 vintage is a real success, exhibiting all the concentration and cut typical of the year but without any of the heaviness or alcoholic weight that it can sometimes display elsewhere. In style, analogies among recent vintages aren't obvious: the concentration and dry extract of 2015 come to mind, but the wines exhibit racier spines of acidity. Seamless and elegant, this is a beautiful portfolio (in both colors) that comes warmly recommended." WK for WA Jan 2022
