Rare in this colour, a Pinot Noir from Domaine Fabien Coche that deserves discovery. This delicate red from Meursault reveals ripe red fruits, almond and fresh bread, with lovely acidity and a fruited character that speaks of Burgundian finesse.
The Meursault Rouge 2023 from Domaine Fabien Coche is one of the most surprising and engaging cuvées in the range, a confidential Pinot Noir from an appellation the world knows for its great Chardonnays, yet which also produces, very quietly, a handful of rare and precious red wines of remarkable elegance and finesse. It opens in your glass with aromas of pear, almond and fresh bread. Fabien Coche's Meursault Village red is rich and fleshy, with a lovely bright acidity, supporting its fruited style.
Terroir and vineyard
This Meursault Rouge comes from three parcels situated high, mid and low on the slope, near the border with Pommard, in the lieux-dits Pre de Manche, Dresolles and Peutes Vignes, on vines averaging 40 years old. Meursault is well known for its white wines, but around 5% of the appellation is planted with Pinot Noir, mainly at the boundary with Volnay. Some vineyards can even be classified as Volnay, such as the Santenots du Milieu of Comte Lafon. This northern section of Meursault has a vein of calcareous marl that forms ideal terroir for Pinot Noir. This calcareous and marly substrate, well-draining and naturally mineral-rich, gives the Pinot Noir tension, freshness and finesse that echo Volnay's immediate proximity. Lightness, precise red fruit and delicate minerality are the watchwords. Vinification is conducted very gently using the submerged cap technique, for very fine and precise extraction of tannins. With 25% whole clusters, the wine reveals lovely raspberry vivacity. Ageing proceeds with measured use of new oak to preserve the wine's fruity openness.
Tasting profile
On the nose, this wine presents an attractive bouquet with notes of ripe red fruits, cherry and raspberry, lifted by spicy touches and wooden nuances from its careful barrel ageing. A very flattering nose of red fruits, raspberry, cherry, blackcurrant, genuinely aromatic, a lovely Burgundy, accessible and typical of Pinot Noir. On the palate, it is lightly tart. The structure is elegant and well-defined, balanced by delicate acidity. Fruited flavours mingle with notes of undergrowth and leather, leading to a persistent and refined finish. Medium-bodied and fresh on the palate. A Meursault red of remarkable lightness and drinkability, to enjoy from now on in all its fruited vivacity or to keep for three to five years.
The domaine
Founded in 1940 and formerly known as Coche-Bizouard, Domaine Fabien Coche cultivates all the nobility of great Burgundy wines. Located in Meursault, this family estate spans 12 hectares of vineyards spread across Meursault, Pommard, Auxey-Duresses, Monthélie, Saint-Romain, Saint-Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet. Domaine Fabien Coche uses traditional methods for producing its wines, with each step ensuring exceptional output. Preserving the nature of the soils is one of the producer's main concerns, working biodynamically for several vintages now.
Food pairings
This Meursault Rouge pairs beautifully with farm-raised roasted chicken with herbs, rabbit in a mushroom casserole, lamb rack with Provençal herbs, a fine country terrine or a selection of soft cheeses such as Époisses or Brie de Meaux. Its natural lightness and freshness allow it to be served lightly chilled between 14 and 16°C, to fully enjoy the fruited vivacity and elegance of this confidential Meursault red.
