Created in 1940 and formerly known as Coche-Bizouard, Domaine Fabien Coche cultivates all the nobility of the great Burgundy wines.
Located in Meursault (21 Côte d'Or), this family estate has 12 hectares of vines spread across Meursault, Pommard, Auxey-Duresses, Monthélie, Saint-Romain, Saint-Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet.
Domaine Fabien Coche uses traditional methods for the production of its wines: working the vines, aging, bottling... each step is done to guarantee exceptional production.
Preserving the nature of the soil is one of the main concerns of your producer who has been working organically for several vintages already. It is therefore quite natural that a request for organic certification was made from the 2020 harvest.
Domaine Fabien Coche is near the emblematic town on the Burgundy wine route, Meursault which has a great wine, tourist and cultural heritage.
South of Beaune, the hillsides of Meursault (21 Côte d’Or) face east. The vines at the top benefit from the rock, those in the middle from more generous soil while those at the bottom reach less dry soil.
Meursault is the emblem of great white wines made from the Chardonnay grape variety.
The subtle blend of limestone, clay and marl, combined with the natural undulation of the hillsides, reveals a wide range of terroirs promising incomparable moments and unforgettable flavours.
From a superbly sited vineyard that lies just below 1er cru Genevrières and also borders on to 1er cru Les Charmes on the south side towards the Puligny-Montrachet border. Coche’s vines here are 40-45 years old and the wine shows a step up in intensity yet still with the finesse and softeness typical of Charmes.
The 2022 Meursault Le Limozin is very good, offering up aromas of green orchard fruit, lemon oil and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, layered and muscular, it's a concentrated, structured wine that will reward a bit of bottle age.’

Coche’s vines here are 40-45 years old and the wine shows a step up in intensity yet still with the finesse and softeness typical of Charmes. Bottled early April 2024 after elevage of about 18 months. Very fine structure and notable length this has lovely balance already and is the most immediately approachable of all his Meursaults. A very fine village wine of considerable complexity.
Review for 2019 ’The 2019 Meursault Le Limozin is very good, offering up aromas of green orchard fruit, lemon oil and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, layered and muscular, it's a concentrated, structured wine that will reward a bit of bottle age.’ 90+ points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, October 2021
