Domaine Coche-Dury

At Domaine Coche-Dury, nine hectares of Meursault's most coveted terroir produce Burgundy's most sought-after white wines, where allocation-only bottles command legendary status among collectors worldwide. This revered estate transforms limestone-rich soils into liquid poetry, crafting investment-grade Chardonnays that define ultra-premium Burgundy excellence.

Raphaël Coche continues his family's uncompromising pursuit of perfection across six prestigious villages: Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Volnay, and Pommard. The domaine's philosophy centers on minimal intervention winemaking, allowing ancient vines—many over 40 years old—to express their terroir authentically. Each parcel receives individual attention, with yields deliberately kept low to concentrate flavors and enhance complexity. This meticulous approach has elevated Coche-Dury beyond mere producer status to become Burgundy royalty.

The estate's flagship Meursault wines, including the legendary Meursault Les Perrières and Meursault Les Caillerets, represent the pinnacle of white Burgundy craftsmanship. Traditional winemaking techniques include extended lees aging and judicious oak usage, creating wines of extraordinary depth and longevity. Critics consistently award perfect scores to these collectible bottlings, which appreciate significantly in value upon release. Limited production ensures extreme scarcity—most wines are allocated exclusively to longtime clients and fine wine merchants. The domaine also produces exceptional Pinot Noir from Volnay and Pommard, though white wines remain the crown jewels.

Visiting Domaine Coche-Dury requires advance planning and connections within Burgundy's inner circle. The modest winery in Meursault village offers no public tastings or casual visits—access is strictly by appointment for serious collectors and trade professionals only. The intimate cellar reflects the family's humble approach despite their wines' astronomical reputation. Raphaël personally oversees all aspects of production in this traditional setting, where modern equipment serves ancient techniques. The experience emphasizes wine over spectacle, focusing entirely on tasting these extraordinary expressions of Meursault terroir.
