Tasting Notes

Here the nose is much more discreet and restrained with notes of white flower, white peach and pear aromas giving way to classy, detailed and almost aggressively mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that are impressively refined and possess a silky mouth feel on the wonderfully intense and admirably long and energetic finish. A striking effort that should age for years though, as Coche suggests, drink well young.

Score: 93

Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2012+ 01 July 2009

Chamomile, green tea, white peach, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and crushed stone are evoked by the scent of the Coche-Dury 2006 Meursault Perrieres. Citrus oils and marzipan, along with a subtle note of caramelization to its abundant pit fruits all testify irresistibly to the ripeness of the vintage, yet without any sense of superficial sweetness or fattiness. With a refined, slippery, silken texture and an airy sense of wafting elegance - yet at the same time suggesting a firm foundation of sheer chalky stone - this magnificent Perrieres stains even as it invigorates the palate. Implausibly, the 2005 soars to even greater aromatic and structural heights, and finishes with spellbinding length.

Score: 96 - 97
