Coche Dury Meursault 1er Cru Perrieres

96+/100 - Surpassing even Coche's Corton-Charlemagne in this vintage, the 2009 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières unfurls in the glass with a lovely bouquet of Anjou pear, green pineapple, white flowers, hazelnut and citrus oil. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's textural and enveloping, but underpinned by the most tensile acid structure of any of Coche's 2009s, concluding with a long and chalky finish. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate 98/100 - There were no reservations about the stellar white. The 2009 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru from Domaine Jean-François Coche-Dury is riveting from start to finish. Laser-like precision on the killer nose, it threatens to overwhelm the olfactory senses. Struck flint, citrus peel and linden, it gains intensity with aeration without ever losing an ounce of its breath-taking delineation. The palate followed suit with ethereal balance, perfect acidity, astonishing energy and a mineral-rich finish that leaves you lost for words. After 13-years, this Meursault is at its peak, though I cannot foresee any decline in the near future. Such is the magic of Coche-Dury. - Neal Martin, Vinous 18.5/20 - The least expressive on the nose at the moment. Great weight and precision and really absolutely of Grand Cru status. Just so brilliant, but you have to wait! - Jancis Robinson MW
