The Estate

The Domaine Fabien Coche, founded in 1940 in Meursault under the name Coche-Bizouard, now extends over 12 hectares spread across Meursault and several villages of the Côte de Beaune, in Burgundy. Led by Fabien Coche and his wife Magali, who have overseen its modernisation since the late 1990s, the estate is certified organic. Discreet in its communication, it favours a rigorous technical approach, combining precision with respect for the terroir.

The Vineyard

The "Clos du Pré de Manche" cuvée comes from a village-level lieu-dit in the Meursault appellation, planted on limestone soils characteristic of the Côte de Beaune. The vineyard is farmed according to organic principles, without chemical inputs, with strict control of yields and hand-harvesting to preserve the integrity of the grapes.

Vinification and Ageing

For the production of the Meursault Village "Clos du Pré de Manche" 2024, the grapes are gently pressed and then vinified with a light touch, without recourse to intensive extraction techniques such as bâtonnage. Ageing takes place in large wooden vessels, with very restrained use of new oak, in order to preserve the freshness and minerality of the wine. The estate has also chosen to equip its entire range with Diam "Origine" technical corks, ensuring consistency in the ageing of the bottles.

Grape Variety

This wine is made from Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of the great white wines of the Côte de Beaune.
