Meursault Perrieres 2006 Coche Dury

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (97)

Chamomile, green tea, white peach, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and crushed stone are evoked by the scent of the Coche-Dury 2006 Meursault Perrieres. Citrus oils and marzipan, along with a subtle note of caramelization to its abundant pit fruits all testify irresistibly to the ripeness of the vintage, yet without any sense of superficial sweetness or fattiness. With a refined, slippery, silken texture and an airy sense of wafting elegance – yet at the same time suggesting a firm foundation of sheer chalky stone – this magnificent Perrieres stains even as it invigorates the palate. Implausibly, the 2005 soars to even greater aromatic and structural heights, and finishes with spellbinding length.
