2008 Domaine Coche-Dury Auxey-Duresses: Rare Cult Burgundy

The 2008 Domaine Coche-Dury Auxey-Duresses Rouge 750ml is an exceedingly scarce, highly coveted red Burgundy from Meursault’s mythic estate. In particular, this rare cuvée comes from old Pinot Noir vines in Auxey-Duresses, celebrated for its pure limestone soils and energetic cut. In addition, the classic, cooler 2008 harvest yielded vibrant red fruit purity, electric natural acidity, and sublime structural tension.

Tasting Notes for 2008 Domaine Coche-Dury Auxey-Duresses

The wine opens with mature aromas of wild red cherry, cranberry, sous-bois, dried rose petals, and subtle baking spices. Furthermore, delicate hints of orange peel, leather, and wet stone reveal themselves with aeration. On the palate, silky, resolved tannins support a slender and energetic mid-palate of fresh red fruit. Consequently, the finish lingers with mouthwatering freshness, stony minerality, and classic Côte de Beaune poise.
