Experience Raphael Coche’s Vision: 2017 Volnay Santenots Premier Cru

Discover an exceptional Burgundy Pinot Noir crafted by Domaine Coche-Dury’s visionary winemaker, Raphaël Coche. Sourced from Volnay’s revered Santenots Premier Cru vineyard in France’s Côte de Beaune, this 2017 vintage merges artisanal tradition with remarkable depth—earning a stellar 93-point acclaim for its sophistication.

Why This Wine Stands Apart

Raphaël personally selects overlooked Hospices de Beaune lots, applying his signature élevage: early barrel transfer to Domaine facilities, delicate egg-white fining, and meticulous hand-bottling. This labor-intensive approach—rare in modern winemaking—creates unparalleled purity and terroir expression.

Tasting Journey

Anticipate an aromatic blend of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and bitter chocolate, layered with earthy minerality and toasted oak. The palate unfolds with velvety tannins, structured concentration, and a gracefully balanced finish—showcasing Volnay’s elegance alongside Coche-Dury’s iconic precision.

Collector’s Corner

A deeply personal project for Raphaël (born at Hospices de Beaune), this limited-edition wine reflects his pursuit of unrealized potential. With only select vintages released, it embodies rarity and artisanal mastery—ideal for connoisseurs seeking cellar-worthy Burgundy treasures.
