Domaine Coche-Dury 2016 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru White Burgundy WA97 V96

Domaine Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2016

Elevate your wine collection with this exceptional Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay from Domaine Coche-Dury, a legendary name in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune region. Hailing from one of Burgundy’s most celebrated white wine terroirs, this 2016 vintage embodies purity and power thanks to its frost-free growing conditions—a rare advantage in an otherwise challenging year for many vineyards.

The nose bursts with vibrant citrus oil, ripe peach, and pear aromas intertwined with subtle nuances of freshly baked bread, toasted almonds, and a hint of mineral complexity reminiscent of wet stone and iodine-like salinity. As it opens in the glass, delicate smoky undertones from 37% new French oak emerge seamlessly into its layered profile.

On the palate, this Burgundy Chardonnay delivers an opulent yet agile experience—richly textured yet lifted by crisp acidity that balances its dense core of ripe fruit perfectly. Its silky smoothness contrasts with an electrifying energy rarely found in such full-bodied whites, creating a harmonious tension between sweetness and salinity that lingers on an extraordinarily long finish. Unlike lighter styles of Chardonnay, this grand cru’s depth makes it ideal for aging; its cellar-worthy potential ensures it will evolve gracefully over decades while remaining approachable now for those seeking bold complexity paired with finesse.

Recognized by critics as a masterpiece of Burgundian winemaking—earning 97 Points from Wine Advocate and 96 Points from Vinous—this wine stands apart through its rare combination of power and elegance. The domaine’s meticulous attention to detail shines here: hand-harvested grapes from Corton-Charlemagne’s esteemed slopes yield a wine that’s both luxurious and authentic to its terroir.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or building a fine wine cellar, this Domaine Coche-Dury white wine offers unmatched value for its category-defining quality. With 13% alcohol, it remains approachable despite its intensity—a testament to its balanced structure—and serves as a testament to Burgundy’s pinnacle expressions under masterful hands like those of Coche-Dury’s family estate.

A rare find among Grand Cru Burgundy whites, this bottle combines critical acclaim with timeless appeal—perfect for connoisseurs seeking excellence in every sip.*
