Professional reviews

Robert Parker (88)

Coche’s 2008 Auxey Duresses mingles tart cherry and rhubarb with chalk, salt, and fruit pit for an invigorating, white-wine like aspect encompassing an energetic and refreshing finish. It should prove deliciously versatile over at least the next half dozen years. As is usually the case – although I confess to not having a chance to taste them every year – Jean-Francois Coche rendered excellent Pinots in 2008, wines which one perhaps stands a chance of acquiring more easily than is possible with his fabled whites.

Burghound (91)

Strong petrol, matchstick and dried herb scents add breadth to the spicy and softly wooded nose of mostly white orchard fruit aromas. There is more volume still to the palate coating flavors that are at once opulent yet serious before concluding in an unusually powerful and youthfully austere finale. This is sufficiently firm to repay up to a decade of cellaring.
