2019 Technical Specifications
Alcohol 13.0%
Grape Varieties Chardonnay
Drinking Window 2025-2060
Region Genevrieres
Production Details Estate-level 2019 context: the Coche-Dury harvest began on 7 September 2019; this is not stated as the Genevrières parcel’s complete picking date. Raphaël Coche presented the 2019 range only after bottling and recovery from mise, so the published Genevrières note concerns finished, bottled wine.
Tasting Notes John Gilman: apple, passion fruit, tangerine, salty chalky minerality, hazelnut, white lilies, iodine and vanillin oak; pure, full and vibrant, with strong mineral drive, focused acidity and a very long finish. Neal Martin for Vinous: orange pith, tinned apricot, white flowers and mirabelle, with a waxy texture, fine acidity, yellow fruit, almond and walnut.
Critics Ratings John Gilman 95/100; Vinous (Neal Martin) 95/100
