Surpassing even Coche's Corton-Charlemagne in this vintage, the 2009 Meursault 1er Cru Perrières unfurls in the glass with a lovely bouquet of Anjou pear, green pineapple, white flowers, hazelnut and citrus oil. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's textural and enveloping, but underpinned by the most tensile acid structure of any of Coche's 2009s, concluding with a long and chalky finish.

Tasting note: Light and not really bothersome reduction is in any event not sufficient to hide the sublimely elegant aromas of white flower, citrus and wet stone. This refined introduction is followed by stony and beautifully precise flavors that possess a positively gorgeous mouth feel before terminating in a driving, citrusy and presently compact finish that delivers superb persistence. This is still very much of a baby and given that it's blessed with both an abundance of dry extract and impeccable balance should augur for an excellent future.
