Tasting notes
Insiders know just how great its 2005 sibling is, but Coche's 2002 Meursault Les Rougeots might be even better. This particular bottle was at the peak of its powers, offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, toasted sesame, waxy citrus rind, iodine and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete, with terrific depth and tension, it's a satiny, incisive white Burgundy that entirely upends the appellation hierarchy.

First bottle : TCA. Second bottle: Truffle and an exotic rich savoury nose here! At the height of its powers. Lots of density and savour. Not sweet at all but with great depth. Richness. Length. Like green caramel. With great race, but weight and density too. Strong. Pungent and with a strong green streak but nothing at all weak about this. Great now. Classy and savoury. (JR)
Liquorice on nose, struck matches. Very rich and broad. Like Perrières. Big and deep. Really exciting. (JR)
