For decades now, the Bourgogne Blanc bottling at Domaine Coche-Dury has been the gold standard for this appellation and the 2019 will be yet another stellar example. The wine offers up a lovely bouquet of lemon, pear, almond, chalky soil tones, a hint of crème patissière and just a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is bright, deep and full-bodied, with a lovely core of fruit, good soil undertow, fine focus and grip and a long, complex finish. Fine juice.

The 2019 Bourgogne Blanc is showing especially well, offering up aromas of pear, citrus zest, hazelnut and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and impressively concentrated palate. Elegantly textural and fine boned, it's a serious wine that punches above its weight. - WK
