The 2022 Coche-Dury Bourgogne Aligoté is a brilliantly chiseled and expressive white Burgundy that elevates this often-overlooked grape to extraordinary heights. Sourced from old vines and farmed with the same precision as the domaine’s top parcels, the wine is fermented and aged in oak barrels (a portion of which are previously used), giving it both textural depth and aromatic complexity. The 2022 vintage brings excellent ripeness and clarity, and this Aligoté delivers a tension-filled profile of green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, crushed rock, and a touch of Coche’s signature flinty reduction. On the palate, it is electric—racy acidity wrapped in a subtle creaminess, with a long, saline finish that speaks to both terroir and touch. A rare and sought-after expression of Aligoté that transcends its category, this wine is as much about pedigree as it is about precision. Best enjoyed over the next 5–8 years, ideally with oysters, goat cheese, or simply on its own as a
Coche-Dury is one of the most revered domaines in Burgundy, synonymous with rarity, precision, and almost mythical quality. Based in Meursault, the estate is currently led by Raphaël Coche, who continues the legacy of his father Jean-François Coche, widely considered one of the greatest white winemakers in the world. The domaine’s wines—especially its whites—are celebrated for their electric tension, extraordinary purity, and unmistakable reductive signature. Farming is meticulous and sustainable, with low yields and manual harvesting, and winemaking is rigorously traditional: barrel fermentation, long élevage, and frequent bâtonnage. While Coche-Dury is best known for its Meursault and Corton-Charlemagne, even its humblest appellations, like Bourgogne Aligoté, are treated with the same care and precision, offering a glimpse into the house’s exceptional craftsmanship.
