As is often the case here, the malolactic fermentations were slow in 2006, and most of Coche's newest crop of wines were still in full malo at the end of May. My notes are limited to barrels that had finished. Coche describes 2006 as a good harvest in which he picked early and thus avoided bringing in grapes affected by rot. He began on the day of the ban and finished in six days. As at several other addresses in Meursault, 2005 looks to be spectacular here. Coche says these wines remind him of "a melange of 1995 and 1985," or "like '85 but more tannic," and really need ten years of aging. The 2005 Corton-Charlemagne is another young masterpiece.
