2022 Domaine Coche Dury Meursault 1er Cru "Les Caillerets", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
The 2022 CocheâDury Meursault 1er Cru âCailleretsâ is crafted from Chardonnay grown in the esteemed Caillerets climatâone of Meursaultâs most expressive premier cru sites, known for its limestoneârich soils that lend wines energy and minerality. In 2022 this wine has garnered excellent scores from connoisseurs (around midâ90s), indicating notable quality and balance. Aromatically it reveals fresh citrus, orchard fruit and floral lift with a clear mineral thread, while on the palate the interplay of structured acidity and refined fruit delivers both poise and persistence.Â
CocheâDuryâs vinification typically emphasizes gentle wholeâcluster pressing, natural yeast fermentation and aging in predominantly seasoned oak, allowing terroir expression to guide development. While approachable on release with careful decanting, this Caillerets shows the structure and backbone to reward medium to longerâterm cellaring. It pairs beautifully with rich seafood (lobster, scallops), poultry in butter or cream sauces, and nuanced cheeses that wonât overwhelm its vibrant profile.
