Clean bright, nose very open and ripe, grapefruit and a hint of gunsmoke flint, similar to an old Bordeaux blanc, palate crisp full very mineral and long, cut grass and wet stones, well balanced.
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.
Having worked with Ronan for over 10 years i have nothing but admiration for his drive and energy and the way he embraces new idea's to improve not only himself but the business' he works for. He is always entirely professional, generous with both his time and knowledge and a true showcase of leading by example. Ronan's knowledge of not only wine, but every aspect of the hospitality industry is impressive and he is always, it appears, a step ahead when embracing innovation to deliver a better result.
