Fourth-generation vigneron Fabien Coche took over his family’s domaine in 2005. Hailing from one of Burgundies most famed families (Coche-Dury was part of the same domaine until 1940 and is run by his cousin Raphael), Fabien has quickly become the Coche of the current generation making the most waves. His enviable vineyard holdings total nearly 11 hectares spread across Meursault, Monthelie, Pommard and Auxey-Duresses. Organic farming has been practiced here since 1998 for the 40 plots of vines that the family owns. Average vine age is impressive with more than 60% of vines over 60 years old.

Fabien sources his Charmes from 100+ year old vines in this signature premier cru site located on the Puligny Montrachet border. Located just below Perrieres, Charmes always shows silkier, finer texture and flavours making this one of the most seductive and indeed charming wines of the cellar.
