I have a friend currently in France doing his best to drink his body weight in Coche. He sent a picture of a 2008 Meursault that he drank in a restaurant in Burgundy that was labelled as Domaine Coche-Dury with C&R Coche underneath it. I have never noticed this before on any bottles I have encountered, with the wine labelled as J-F Coche-Dury as far as I can recall. Anyone know what the story is?
Yeah,
Coche makes the wines for someone else as a favor (I’m pretty sure…has been doing so for a while, unless this is something new?).
Seen this before…no doubt someone will jump in with the full story.
A photo of one here: Wino sapien: A pair of rare birds
Or maybe that IS the photo he sent you?
A 40 something doctor from Oz…a fair chance I’d say…
Perhaps the R is for his son Raphaël Coche ?
