The second encounter with Coche-Dury's 2005 Meursault 1er Cru Caillerets is just as thrilling as the first. It retains that unmistakable signature "Coche" nose, that slight reduction, here with a lifted popcorn scents, straight out of the microwave. The palate is poised with a killer line of acidity, sophisticated and refined, a gentle crescendo of flavors to the light, spiced finish that is a little more saline than the example 12 months ago. I'll repeat the sentiment from my last note - this is a Meursault from the top drawer.

One of the standout wines of this huge Coche-Dury tasting, the 2005 Meursault Caillerets delivers…and more. The nose is blessed with a quite astonishing sense of penetration, its minerality grabbing you (politely) by the lapels and demanding attention. It seems regal and sophisticated, momentarily transferring you down to the Côte de Beaune. The palate is focused and animated with a killer line of acidity and just a dash of white pepper toward the saline finish that just begs you to take another precious sip. This is one fabulous Meursault for Coche’s top drawer.
