2020 Meursault, Les Caillerets, Coche-Dury

Coche produced six barrels of the beautiful 2020 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets from this seldom-seen climat on the northern side of Meursault. Wafting from the glass with scents of white flowers, crisp green orchard fruit, citrus zest, pastry cream, fresh mint and toasted sesame, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and chiseled, its sweet core of fruit underpinned by racy acids, concluding with a long, mouthwateringly mineral finish. ~ (95) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-31-2023

The 2020 Meursault Les Caillerets 1er Cru, which comes from exposed southerly-facing vines, has a perfumed peony and dandelion-scented bouquet, Mirabelle and jasmine notes that emerge with time. The palate has plenty of "bite" on the entry, quite saline in the mouth; however, the Les Chevaliers has a soupçon more finesse towards the finish. Still, very very delicious. ~ (93) Neal Martin, Vinous 1-1-2023
