Tasting notes
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.

Pretty cherry colour. A little hard but true and light and fresh. Dry on the finish. (JR)
