"Musky, leesy aromas of citrus fruits, hazelnut and white truffle. Youthfully tight and sharply delineated, showing terrific mineral cut to the lemon, lime and ginger flavors. RaphaĂ«l Coche told me that this wine began 'very strict' but really exploded following the malolactic fermentation. I was unable to taste at Coche-Dury in the spring of 2014 as the estate was shorthanded at the time and overwhelmed with vineyard work. This year, the Coches poured a nearly full set of their 2013 whites, which RaphaĂ«l Coche described as âa good classic vintage, less fat than the 2012s.â Potential alcohol levels were around 12.5% in 2013, added Coche, and none of the finished wines is as high as 13% following very light chaptalization. The '13s had been bottled in April. The 2014s were not ready to taste as they were still at various stages of their secondary fermentations. Coche described the newer vintage as âmassive, powerful, very concentrated wines with good acidity, like the 2012s.â"

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
