Coche Dury, Chevalier Montrachet and more


More firsts from a couple of weeks back. My first taste of Coche Dury, one of the most vaunted and revered white burgundy producers. Coche Dury wines sell for astonishing sums of money and getting your hands on them is quite a challenge. The wine tasted here was the Meursault Perrieres 1er 2002, and it was brilliant. Sleek, shiny and crammed full of power. The Bouchard Chevalier Montrachet 2005 was also impressive, but needs many years of cellaring to show its full potential, especially in a large format bottle. Can't recall if I tasted the Clos de Mouches...it was all getting a bit silly at this point.
