Coche Dury Meursault 2015

Coche-Dury Meursault 2015 — the white Burgundy you find once and remember always.

Taste
Yellow plum, hazelnut, toasted brioche, and the smoky-mineral signature that defines Coche-Dury. Layered, intense, and quietly powerful — the kind of complexity that takes a decade of vine work and patient winemaking.

Region
From Meursault in Burgundy, France. Jean-François Coche-Dury (now succeeded by his son Raphaël) farms historic Meursault parcels and ages in Burgundy oak. The estate is one of the most sought-after in all of Burgundy.

About This Wine

Best For
Collector-tier dinners, library-style tasting events, gifts for sommeliers or wine professionals, milestone occasions where the bottle is the point

For Who
Burgundy collectors, sommeliers, wine professionals, gift recipients who already know Coche-Dury by name

Similar To
If you like Domaine Leflaive grand cru, Domaine d’Auvenay, or Raveneau Chablis, this is in the same hand-crafted Burgundy tier — Coche-Dury is among the most allocated of all.

Pairing
Lobster thermidor, roast chicken with truffle, scallops in beurre blanc, aged Comté, mushroom risotto, soft-poached eggs with caviar

Drink Window
Drink now through 2032. Already showing complexity; will reward additional cellar time.

Collector Note
2015 was a ripe Burgundy vintage with notable structure — white Burgundies from this year have weight and aging potential. Coche-Dury 2015 is approaching peak now and will continue to drink beautifully through 2032. Decant 30–45 minutes before serving. This is a once-or-twice-in-a-decade bottle for most collectors — drink it for the occasion, not the inventory.

Mood
Reverent, considered, special, library-grade

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is Coche-Dury so expensive?
A: Coche-Dury produces tiny quantities (allocation-only, importer-controlled) and has decades of acclaim for the most refined white Burgundies in the region. Demand massively exceeds supply, so secondary market prices have climbed steadily for 20+ years.

Q: Is the 2015 Coche-Dury drinking well now?
A: Yes — 2015 is approaching peak. The wine has integrated its oak, developed tertiary nutty complexity, and retained the acidity needed for balance. Drink between now and 2030 for the best experience.

Q: Is this a good cellar wine to buy 2–3 bottles of?
A: Yes if you can — allocation makes this rare to find at retail, and a vertical of Coche-Dury Meursault across multiple vintages is a serious collector achievement. If you can only buy one, drink it for an occasion that matches the bottle.
