Winemaker Notes
The 2008 Louis Latour Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru "Les Demoiselles" is a sincere, tense, and full-bodied Chardonnay defined by a complex nose of white fruits, almond, and vanilla, alongside a punchy mineral profile. Fermented and aged in 100% new oak, the wine exhibits a rich, generous palate with smoke and toast characteristics that lead to a long, elegant finish. This wine is suitable for cellaring for 10 to 15 years and pairs well with refined dishes like lobster thermidor or sea scallops.

About Winery
Domaine Coche-Dury, based in Meursault, Burgundy, is one of the most revered producers of white Burgundy. The estate was founded in the 1920s by Léon Coche, who purchased vineyard plots and initially sold grapes to négociants while bottling a small amount himself. In 1964, his son Georges Coche took over his share of the vineyards, expanding holdings and strengthening the domaine. Georges’s son Jean-François Coche assumed control in 1973, and with his wife (whose surname, Dury, was added to the domaine’s name), he transformed Coche-Dury into a cult estate. Known for meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and precise winemaking, Jean-François elevated the domaine’s reputation to global acclaim, especially for its Chardonnay from Meursault, Corton-Charlemagne, and other Côte de Beaune sites. In 1999, the domaine suffered a notable setback when a helicopter crash damaged part of its Corton-Charlemagne vines, but it continued to thrive. Today, Jean-François’s son Raphaël Coche has joined the estate, ensuring continuity of its legendary style and status as one of Burgundy’s most sought-after producers.

Domaine d’Auvenay, founded by Lalou Bize-Leroy in the late 1970s (some accounts cite 1979, others 1988), is one of Burgundy’s most enigmatic and prestigious estates. Situated in Saint-Romain, it reflects Bize-Leroy’s uncompromising philosophy of biodynamic viticulture, which she championed long before it became widely accepted. With tiny vineyard holdings and extremely limited production, Auvenay has earned cult status among collectors for its rare, terroir-driven wines that combine purity, intensity, and longevity. Often described as the “rebellious counterpart” to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, where Bize-Leroy once played a leading role, Domaine d’Auvenay embodies her personal vision of Burgundy: wines crafted with reverence for nature, precision, and individuality.
