Given none of the Coches showed even the slightest hint of premox, I’d be tempted to wait on this one, say another 2-3 years at least, and maybe a bit more.
It doesn’t quite have the power and extract of the '10 (I would wait 10+ years more for that wine if possible) - and was really quite accessible (and totally delicious), but it just feels like it still has even more to (safely) show…
Which restaurant?
Jeremy,
So who makes the better Corton-Charlemagne? Lalou or Coche?
Khiem
I love them both Khiem, both exceptional renditions of the vineyard. Coche is perhaps my stylistic preference. The wines are razor sharp with so much chalky dry extract.
Best Regards
Jeremy
What a night. Bravo.
Paul they making you wash the dishes!? ![[snort.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/b/bdc3944606213c4dca6c1169cf0a166c8bc4f8c9.gif "snort.gif"){kind=small}
Agree with this, comes down to stylistic preference, and for me the Coches hit the mark more consistently that the Leroy’s.
We found much the same when last we did a similar comparison (back in 2011).
FWIW: Neither of these wines is really worth the current tariff - especially at often seen inflated retail prices, and especially compared to say similar wines from Boillot or PYCM at a 10th of the price (or less).
Nah mate, that was Jeremy, much more handy with a cloth than me!!! ![[wow.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/7/7d450e9830889c8943b674446a21b7254cad657e.gif "wow"){kind=small}
Thanks for the notes, Jeremy.
I once discussed Lalou with Jean-François Coche.
He holds her in high respect.
Khiem
nicely done, and my first thought as well
