The Meursault 2024 comes from a blend of several plots, whose differences in soils and location contribute to the complexity of this cuvée. Fabien Coche cultivates his vines organically, a commitment made several years before obtaining certification in 2023. Regular tillage promotes vine rooting, while yield control aims for good concentration without sacrificing freshness. In the cellar, traditional vinifications favor limited interventions and controlled oak aging, with a low proportion of new barrels. The goal is to develop the texture and depth of the Chardonnay while preserving the clarity of its aromatic expression. The 2024 vintage, marked by cool and humid climatic conditions as well as often reduced yields, should particularly highlight this quest for balance. The result is a Meursault whose natural generosity is expressed in a precise register, supported by beautiful liveliness.
Fabien Coche's Meursault 2024 reveals an aromatic profile combining white fruits, citrus, and delicate flowers, with fresh hazelnut nuances characteristic of the appellation. Upon aeration, subtle buttery and lightly toasted notes enrich the bouquet without masking the brightness of the fruit. On the palate, a full-bodied texture and silky feel combine with refreshing acidity that brings relief to the whole. This alliance between roundness and tension is one of the main attractions of the cuvée, whose finish extends with lemony and slightly mineral sensations. Accessible in its youth after a short aeration, this wine can also evolve favorably over several years, gradually gaining complexity and depth. At the table, it naturally pairs with seared scallops, sole meunière, mushroom risotto, or creamy farm poultry. A few years of aging will also allow pairing with noble fish in sauce or refined soft cheeses.
