2013 Domaine Coche-Dury Bourgogne Rouge

William Kelley of Wine Advocate writes: "The fundamentals of Domaine Coche-Dury's singular style, it bears repeating, remain the same: attentive viticulture (now with somewhat higher hedging and seasonal cover crops); harvesting on the early side; a rare aptitude—which seems to have been passed down from father to son—for knowing how hard to press and for how long; careful choice of barrels; and long, patient and meticulously supervised fermentations and élevage. The wines continue to be distinguished by their incisive acids, striking intensity and frequently appreciable presence of dry extract—the latter is something Raphaël argues can bring structure and freshness to wines from the warm vintages that Burgundy is witnessing more and more frequently. There isn't a Coche formula, rather there is a Coche palate, for decisions are made by tasting."
