Description

Les Chevalieres lies just above the village of Meursault where the slope follows at the same altitude as the premier cru’s just a little further south. Chevalieres adjoins Les Luchets which is positioned against the top part of this lieu-dit. Tasted early April 2019 the day before bottling, not surprisingly this showed a tiny bit of struck-match SO2 complexity. Despite the hint of reduction this showed lovely fine floral lift over what is clearly a very deep and rich wine showing obvious real old vine intensity. This is a real step up in intensity and character with the cooler site adding a little more acidity and lift to the wine. A fabulous village Meursault.

About Fabien Coche

Fourth-generation vigneron Fabien Coche took over his family’s domaine in 2005. Hailing from one of Burgundies most famed families (Coche-Dury was part of the same domaine until 1940 and is run by his cousin Raphael), Fabien has quickly become the Coche of the current generation making the most waves.

Fabiens father is a first cousin of Jean-Francois Coche-Dury and has been running this estate since 1998. Stylistically the wines at this estate have little (if any) discernable mark from the hand of the winemaker with new oak at a low 25%. An outstanding set of Meursaults from a first rate domaine that is now receiving the recognition that they deserve.

In the Vineyard

Fabien has organic practices here since he took over the farming of the 40 plots of vines that the family owns. Average vine age is impressive here with more than 60% of vines over 60 years old.
