Tasting notes
The 2007 Meursault 1er Cru Les Caillerets, like Coche's other wines in this vintage, remains almost preternaturally youthful, wafting from the glass with notes of wet stones, white flowers, sweet citrus zest, apple blossom and struck match, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant palate that's strikingly pure and persistent. Purists who gravitate toward cooler vintages could hardly find a more satisfying bottle.

Reticent nose offers peach, flowers and minerals. More minerally and less supple than the Rougeot; in fact this is quite taut today. The wine's crushed stone character and impression of energy are hiding its underlying fat. The long, rising, firm-edged finish is classic 2007 in style. Forget about this one for at least three or four years.
Broad – almost passion fruit, it's so exotically fruity. Broad with lots of ripe fruit on the mid-palate. Then still very tight and lots of acid. Texture less silky than Rougeots. (JR)
