First sips in Paris 🥰
Coche is so fn good it really makes you stop, put your glass down and think about it. Reduction blows off to reveal layers of stone fruit, Meyer lemon, buttered popcorn and white flowers. There is such incredible texture and depth to this wine and its pulsating energy and acidity is seamlessly balanced in combination with its richness and density. It threads the needle between power and elegance. Fabulous. — 4 years ago
Light and lots of popcorn! Very good. — a year ago
Completely smitten with this dense, complex, and entirely palatable Chardonnay.
Yellow straw color that hints at minor oak aging. Beautiful and intense aromas of struck match, toasted marshmallow, baked bread, pineapple, and guava. Absolutely no vanillin coming through. Upon cold opening it was much more tropical focused and then warmed up to become more toasty. Was fun to witness the evolution.
Sharp acid edge and medium bodied. Drinks clean and has a buttered popcorn and golden apple dialect.

Medium lemon color. Pronounced nose. Lemon custard, honey, quince, popcorn, Smokey. Medium+ acidity, high alcohol, medium+ body. The high alcohol and the lees mask the fruit and the resulting sensation is a lack of freshness. — 2 years ago
Brown butter popcorn, but well balanced — 3 years ago
So much SO2 at first, this needed a full day open to blow off. Subtle nose of wet stone, some pomaceous fruit, SO2. You could argue its flawed given the perceptible sulphur. With air and vigorous aeration it slowly unwinded and blew off. Palate is gorgeous though, it is taut with a defined sensibility to it. Lemon peel, orange zest, ripe pear, white peach, orchard blossom, crushed flint and chalk, hazelnut, popcorn, and an ever so slight touch of vanilla and spice on the long finish. A thread of reduction no surprise there. Plenty of top-of-the slope character with racy acid and mineral backbone. I find it rather finessed all in all. Would love to revisit in 5-8 years. — 5 years ago

Consistency. Slivered almond and popcorn kernel. Pair with butter chicken or crab cakes. — 2 months ago
