Why we follow Domaine Coche-Dury
The estate
Jancis Robinson once called Jean-François Coche the King of Meursault, and the title has stuck. He took over in 1973 and married Odile Dury in 1975, giving the estate its name and, over the following four decades, a reputation that puts its village wine in higher demand than most producers' grand crus. His son Raphaël has directed the domaine since 2010, having worked alongside him full-time from 1999. Very little has changed, which is the point.
The vineyards
Around ten hectares, scattered across six communes in small parcels. The single grand cru is Corton-Charlemagne, originally a third of a hectare bought in 1986 and expanded to just under a hectare in 2012. In Meursault there is premier cru Perrières and Caillerets, plus the village lieux-dits Les Rougeots and Chevalières. Reds come from Volnay, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie and Pommard. One detail tells you most of what you need to know about the philosophy here: no clones have ever been planted. Everything is massale selection, propagated from the domaine's own vines.
In the glass
Barrel fermentation with regular lees stirring, up to twenty-two months in wood, and modest new oak. Yields are naturally low, a function of old vines, tight planting and short pruning. Jean-François's view was that green harvesting is already too late; the work happens earlier. The estate dries its own oak and supplies it to its cooper. Around thirty per cent of the crop still goes to négociants under long-standing contracts, so the domaine bottles only part of an already small production.

How allocations are offered
It records which producers and wines interest you, so we know who to contact when a release is confirmed.
Availability depends on what arrives and how many customers are waiting. In some years there is very little to go round.
Our team considers purchase history, genuine interest and intended enjoyment. We would rather a case went to someone who will open it and tell us what they thought than to whoever asked first.
Change your requests at any time from My allocation requests. Release timing moves with the producer and the vintage, so the months on the release calendar are a guide rather than a promise.
