2007 Domaine Coche-Dury, Meursault, Les Rougeots 1x750ml

Vinous 93

The 2007 Meursault Les Rougeots is a vintage that I have not tasted before. It has a splendid nose of Nashi pear, orange peel, pumpkin and dried honey, quite complex and becoming yeasty with aeration. The palate feels mature with an attractive oily texture with notes of dried honey, ginger, walnut and a touch of fennel. There is impressive depth toward the finish, perhaps a Coche-Dury that has reached its peak but will cruise for another decade. Tasted at Domaine Direct’s dinner at Noble Rot.

“The 2007 Meursault Les Rougeots from Coche-Dury is lovely, the lean, tensile vintage beautifully tempered by this lieu-dit that tends to produce authoritative, dense wines. Aromas of lime, sesame, green pear, wheat toast and preserved lemon, framed by new oak, precedes a full-bodied, glossy wine with superb amplitude, unerring focus and a long, chalky finish. This really blossoms with a decant and is still a good six or seven years away from its apogee.” [William Kelley, 01/31/2018]
