The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge has a bright, perky bouquet with touches of red cherry and blueberry. The palate is well balanced, quite tensile and lively with ample depth and a more peppery finish than many of its peers. You could... Read More

Domaine Coche-Dury’s tiny 0.25-hectare parcel in Monthélie yields a Pinot Noir that balances Côte de Beaune finesse with the house’s trademark drive. The 2022 vintage offers pure red-berry fruit, subtle... Read More

The usual blend of Taillepieds and Clos des Chênes, from a parcel that straddles the border of the two climats, Coche's 2022 Volnay 1er Cru offers up aromas of sweet berries, cherries, peonies and vine smoke, followed... Read More
