Tasting notes
Reviewed by: David Schildknecht
The Coche-Dury 2007 Bourgogne mingles almond, pistachio, and nutmeg with fresh quince and white peach on the nose and on a creamy, polished palate that preserves a both succulent and lively hint of citrus. Nut oils and spice persist into a gentle finish that helps assures immediate appeal, although I am sure this will remain lovely for several years. Jean-Francois Coche finished his 2007 Chardonnay harvest by mid-September, and of his whites were bottled in April. He characterizes the fruit as having been healthy, relatively high in malic acid, and easy to vinify, with alcohol levels (after very light but at this address routine chaptalization) between 12.5% and 13%. Coche is among many growers to not only draw the comparison with 2004, but to claim that this represents the only possible point of reference that even occurs to him. That said, he considers the 2007s slightly fruitier and more forward. Importers: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
