If you’re hunting for white Burgundy that drinks like Meursault but doesn’t cost Meursault, this is the move. Fabien Coche (of those Coches, yes) is turning heads with precision-crafted wines that punch well above their village-level status.

His 2022 Auxey-Duresses Blanc is textbook: cool-climate freshness, that telltale Côte de Beaune minerality, and just enough leesy texture to make it feel serious without weighing it down. There’s citrus, pear, a little hazelnut, and a stony finish that keeps you coming back.

No flashy oak, no makeup—just clean, classy Chardonnay from a producer who knows exactly what he’s doing. If you love Burgundy and want a bottle that overdelivers, this is your secret weapon.
