Grand Cru White Burgundy: Domaine Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne 2015

Domaine Coche-Dury’s Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru 2015 is a testament to Burgundy’s finest expressions of Chardonnay. Hailing from the prestigious Côte de Beaune region in France, this exceptional white wine captures the essence of its terroir through layers of complexity and age-worthy elegance. Crafted by one of Burgundy’s most revered estates, this bottling stands out for its striking balance and mineral intensity—a hallmark of Raphael Coche’s meticulous winemaking philosophy.

The 2015 vintage delivers a luminous pale yellow hue in the glass, accompanied by an aromatic profile brimming with citrus notes—lemon zest and lime—intertwined with subtle crushed stone nuances that evoke the limestone-rich soils of Corton-Charlemagne. On the palate, it opens with velvety smoothness before revealing a tightly wound core of pungent minerality, offering remarkable density without heaviness. Unlike many wines from this warm year, it avoids any overtly ripe or alcoholic traits (13.7% ABV), instead showcasing crisp acidity and a striking structural backbone reminiscent of a grand red wine’s power and poise.

This wine’s extraordinary longevity makes it an ideal candidate for cellaring or pairing with rich dishes like roasted poultry or aged cheeses at its peak maturity years down the line. The seamless integration of texture and tension positions it as one of Domaine Coche-Dury’s standout releases from 2015—a choice favored by its winemaker himself for its harmonious evolution over time.

A rare gem in Burgundy’s white wine portfolio, this Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru embodies both precision and depth, appealing to connoisseurs seeking wines that transcend traditional varietal boundaries. With accolades including Vinous’ 97+ rating praising its “endless crushed-rock finish” and “solidarity,” it’s not just a drink-now indulgence but a collector’s piece destined for legacy status on any fine wine shelf.
