Very deep purple bowl fading to a red rim, high viscosity, nose delicious (after 2 hours open) ripe fat and rich raspberry/kirch aromas, meaty and bloody with bacon fat and a touch of undergrowth. Ripe fruit on attcak, medium acidity, developed tannins, length very short and disappointing compared to nose, short length and grippy mean dry tannis on sides of mouth.
Nose intense, wet rock, lime pith, nervosity, smoky citrus and salted lemon character, palate big crisp, clean and long, limey citus flavour with intense mineral tang, slight smoke and wet rock. Amazing balance and length. A very distinctive Coche style.
Slightly deeper colour than Coche Meursault 05, pale straw gold, nose soft gentle already open, hints of nuts and cream, toasted brioche style, very elegant ripe and full with a rich palate, mineral hints, great elegance, very well balanced witha slight peach and tropical finish, v long.
Ronan Sayburn was one of the first true Sommeliers who welcomed me into Sommellerie over 10 years ago, opening his door to share his knowledge and assist in developing my sommelier skills whilst working in Michelin starred establishments. He has been a direct influence in my professional development and wine studies including national and international sommelier competitions. His willingness to assist and support anyone with a true desire to further themselves in the hospitality industry is effortless, and one which echoes across the UK and abroad through world-wide recognition and respect amongst his peers and leading industry figures.
