Product details
Domaine Coche-Dury Monthélie Rouge 2020 is a village-level Burgundy Pinot Noir from Monthélie in the Côte de Beaune, reflecting the domaine’s longstanding focus on precise, terroir-driven expressions. Coche-Dury traces its roots to the early 20th century, with the domaine taking its present name after Jean-François Coche married Odile Dury; since 2010, the estate has been under the stewardship of his son Raphaël Coche-Dury. The domaine’s vineyards include holdings in Monthélie alongside Meursault, Volnay, Auxey-Duresses, Puligny-Montrachet, and Corton-Charlemagne. Its red-fruit expressions are known for purity and delicacy, with vineyard work centered on careful cultivation, limited yields, and an approach that seeks to preserve the natural character of each site. The 2020 Monthélie continues this style, offering a refined expression of Pinot Noir and the character of its Côte de Beaune origin.
The 2020 vintage shows a delicate, pure profile with bright red-fruit character, including crisp raspberry and wild strawberry, followed by a medium-bodied palate with crunchy red fruit and subtle blue-fruit notes. Fine structure and freshness give the wine definition, while the finish retains the focused character of the vintage. It is well suited to roast poultry, grilled or sautéed white meats, fine charcuterie, and gently aged soft cheeses.
