Bourgogne Cote D’Or Chardonnay 2021 Fabien Coche 75 cl

Description

History

In the heart of Burgundy, in the Meursault region, lies the Domaine Fabien Coche, a wine estate that extends over 12 hectares and includes vineyards located in Meursault, Pommard, St Aubin, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Saint Romain and Montrachet. A particularity is represented by the centuries-old vineyards of the “Lieu Dit Limozin” in Meursault, which boast more than 100 years of age.

The company was founded in 1973, when the Domaine Coche, dating back to 1920, was divided into Coche Bizouard and Coche Dury. Today they produce 28 wine denominations. The estate adopts an organic agricultural practice, working the soil since 2001 and using indigenous yeasts. Since 2003, the wines have not been filtered or clarified. The aim is for low yields in cultivation. The treatments for the vines are carried out organically, using only copper and sulphur. Starting from 2020, the trend is towards biodynamic viticulture. The soils are characterized by a combination of clay, limestone and a slight presence of marl.

Possible combinations

Its ideal pairing is with white meat dishes, especially poultry, but it also goes perfectly with fish and cheeses.
