Domaine Coche-Dury's 2021 Aloxe Corton is 100% Pinot Noir from vines planted in 1962 and 1987, rooted in one of Burgundy's most hallowed microclimates. The estate farms just under nine hectares across six communes, with deep ties to Meursault. The mid-palate carries the mineral precision and subtle earthiness you expect from old-vine Pinot in this corner of the Côte de Beaune, where generations of work show in every sip. This is Burgundy without pretense: serious structure and lineage at the glass.

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.
