Domaine Coche-Dury's Aloxe Corton is pure Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1962 and 1987. Decades of minerality and structure built into the glass. The hallmark of these fractional parcels across six communes is precision: here you get the architecture without the noise, Burgundy's quiet confidence in a vintage that rewards patience.

About the Producer
The Coches farm almost nine hectares of vineyards on minuscule parcels over six communes: Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, and Volnay. Approximately half of their holdings are situated around their hometown of Meursault, with their parcels of Bourgogne surrounding the home and winery. Though they are best known for their Chardonnay, they also bottle six exquisite Pinot Noirs. No clones of any kind are planted an absolute rarity in Burgundy, where cold, humid winters, spontaneous springtime hail storms, and harvest rains all make farming a challenge. Once in the cellar, vinifications are long and traditional, with extended lees contact.
