A slightly more elegant nose is also quite floral with lovely layering on the just sliced apple, essence of pear, hazelnut and discreet but perceptible wood. The medium weight flavors are not quite as concentrated as those of the Enseignères, but they are finer, all wrapped in a slightly warm finish that isn't quite as focused. This seemed somewhat awkward and out of sorts, but I suspect that it will harmonize if given a chance, particularly since the track record of this wine is impeccable.
There is just a tiny bit more colour here, with clearly more weight and tension, along with fennel and liquorice aromatics. This is a very complete Meursault, with a beautiful finish and impressive length. This wine exemplifies what may be happening at Domaine Coche-Dury on Raphaël’s watch: less Coche-Dury and more terroir in style. This vineyard, adjacent to Le Tesson, would earn more recognition in general if there were more high class exponents of Rougeot. *****
