Jean-Francois Coche's son Raphael, who has largely taken over the day-to-day responsibilities of the domaine that now exploits 10.5 ha of vines and buys in the equivalent of another 4.5 ha, described 2015 as "having a relatively easy growing season where the only real concern was at time very high temperatures. On the plus side the high heat kept disease at bay and brought the fruit to high levels of ripeness earlier than usual. We chose to begin picking on the 31st of August with our pinot and then followed by the chardonnay. I would describe the style of the wines as tannic and this is true for both the reds and the whites and in this respect they remind me of our 2005s." By Burghound.com
The 2015 Meursault Village is showing very well, unfurling in the glass with notes of crisp yellow orchard fruit, Anjou pear, white flowers, honeycomb and hazelnut cream. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and pure, with beautiful balance, succulent underlying acids and an elegant framing of dry extract that lends a mouthwatering quality to the long, penetrating finish. Without either the strong cooperage or reductive signatures of yesteryear's Coche-Dury, it exemplifies the new stylistic direction taken by Raphal Coche, and it's a terrific success, surpassing both the 2014 and 2013 renditions.
