But is single vineyard village wines a good idea, or just another ... On the palate the wines has very fine textures and freshness that comes from both the soil and the fine acidity structure. The wines are  never overripe, but retain their suppleness bouchard pere & fils chassagne-montrachet and finesse. There is a pronounced Coche style, but this does not prevent the individual vineyards terroir to shine through. They are terroir wines but have a quite distinctive style that characterizes all the wines from the domaine.

Its texture is a study in silkiness that can both enrapture now and promise even deeper complexity with patient cellaring. Sadly the nose of acrid silage meant that drinking the wine was a very unpleasant experience. This almost seemed both oxidised and heavily reduced if that is possible. The palate was reminiscent of apple cider but the acidity was ok.
While my tasting at the domaine was postponed by France's second COVID-19 lockdown, I sacrificed a bottle from my cellar to take a first look at Raphaël Coche's 2018 Meursault Village. The wine is very promising indeed, unwinding  in the glass with aromas of struck match, crisp orchard fruit and citrus oil, complemented by subtle hints of praline and sesame. Medium to full-bodied, with impressive cut and tension in this often rather open-knit vintage, it's elegantly textural and nicely concentrated, with tangy acids and a youthfully chalky finish.

On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and nicely concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids. This vintage has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in acclaim, making it a sought-after bottle for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
The 2015 Meursault Village is showing very well, unfurling in the glass with notes of crisp yellow orchard fruit, Anjou pear, white flowers, honeycomb and hazelnut cream.
