Domaine Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Gruyaches’: A Pure Expression of Luxury Burgundy

The Meursault ‘Les Gruyaches’ from Domaine Fabien Coche is a benchmark for high-quality, village-level white Burgundy. Sourced from the esteemed ‘Les Gruyaches’ vineyard, a lieu-dit adjacent to the famed Premier Cru ‘Les Charmes’, this wine represents a perfect marriage of richness and finesse. Fabien Coche, a fourth-generation vigneron, crafts this cuvée with a hands-off, organic approach, aiming for purity and a vibrant expression of the Chardonnay grape.

With a winemaking philosophy that includes long aging on the lees and minimal new oak, the wine achieves the classic Meursault profile-opulent and buttery-but with an added layer of tension and minerality that guarantees excellent aging potential. This is a must-have for any serious collector of fine Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes

• Color: A brilliant, pale golden hue, deepening with age.
• Nose: An elegant and complex bouquet of ripe citrus, poached pear, and honeysuckle, evolving into classic Meursault notes of toasted hazelnut, buttered toast, and a subtle, flinty minerality.
• Palate: Full-bodied and generous, the mouthfeel is unctuous and rich, beautifully balanced by a refreshing, long acidity. Flavors of almond, citrus oil, and a creamy texture lead to a persistent, refined finish.
