Coche-Dury: The red wine of a domaine famous for its whites
A family-run domaine based in Meursault. In addition to white Chardonnay, they also produce red Pinot Noir, making wines at the village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru levels.
Choose and present one white and one red; I will list the required conditions other than the name Coche-Dury.
Questions for this course
Just from the name Coche-Dury, can you assume the grape is Chardonnay?

Available as both white and red
The importer’s list includes Chardonnay from Meursault and Corton-Charlemagne, and Pinot Noir from Monthelie and Volnay. The specialties of the producer and the actual color range of all their wines need not cover the same spectrum.
Match the vineyard name and classification.
Even among whites, Meursault, Meursault Perrières Premier Cru, and Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru are different wines. Even when comparing with the same producer and variety, the origin and classification change.
Do not standardize barrel aging.
The importer states that barrel aging lasts 15–22 months, varying by label and vintage. It also notes that the reds are destemmed and gently fermented. Do not extrapolate the red process from the white style; check the specifics by color.

Reading Coche-Dury's material: A domaine famed for whites, but also makes reds.
Compare the stated conditions in the documentation. Numbers specifying vintages should be treated as information for that specific year.
This summarizes materials published by producers, regional groups, and importers. Each source includes the publisher and the date the material was checked.

| Red | Pinot Noir / destemmed for vinification | Do not apply the white wine process directly as-is. |
| Aging | 15–22 months according to the materials | Variation by producer and vintage |

Coche-Dury’s wines?
The importer also lists red Pinot Noir.
What is the difference between Perrières and Meursault village-level wines?
Even with the same producer and variety, the appellation requirements can differ.
What does 15–22 months mean?
Do not express a range as a single fixed value. 15 months and 22 months are not the sum of two separate processes, but rather the range of maturation periods, varying by cuvée and vintage. Do not apply the description of red de-stemming to white wines; check that you have the correct color and cuvée information.
