Coche Dury Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres

97/100 - Chamomile, green tea, white peach, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and crushed stone are evoked by the scent of the Coche-Dury 2006 Meursault Perrieres. Citrus oils and marzipan, along with a subtle note of caramelization to its abundant pit fruits all testify irresistibly to the ripeness of the vintage, yet without any sense of superficial sweetness or fattiness. With a refined, slippery, silken texture and an airy sense of wafting elegance – yet at the same time suggesting a firm foundation of sheer chalky stone – this magnificent Perrieres stains even as it invigorates the palate. Implausibly, the 2005 soars to even greater aromatic and structural heights, and finishes with spellbinding length. - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate 18/20 - Very fine. Smoky. Not the densest at the moment. Maybe it will take on a bit more weight. Clean and mid to heavy weight. Second bottle much better and more vital! Really powerful and round. Score refers to the second, better bottle. - Jancis Robinson MW
