Description

This wine, in its second vintage as a standalone cuvée, is of the level of many Premier Cru wines. It’s dense, generous and powerful with plenty of ripe stone fruit, all underpinned by a persistent thread of acidity. The Clos du Pré de Manche is a walled vineyard facing south in the mouth of the valley up to Auxey-Duresses. Two thirds of the vines were planted in 1945, with the remaining third replanted in 2017. Drink 2024-2032.

Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.

Domaine Fabien Coche

Fabien Coche is a fourth-generation vigneron who took over from his father, Alain, in 2005. From the ’20 vintage the name of the domaine changed from Coche-Bizouard to Fabien Coche. The Coche family is well known in Burgundy: Raphaël Coche-Dury is a cousin, and the two domaines were one until they split in 1949.
