Domaine Jean-François Coche-Dury Description
Paul-Jules Muteau (1856-1927) was a distinguished cavalry officer, who was promoted to Général in 1914 and became staff officer of Général Foch during World War I. He was also a Member of the Légion d’Honneur (Grand Croix). He bequeathed an important estate to the Hôtel-Dieu in 1926, including the Domaine of Laborde-au-Château alongside many donations to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. This Cuvée is made up from 5 superbly-placed Volnay Premier Cru: Le Village 0.78 ha., Frémiets 0.23 ha., Taille Pieds 0.19 ha., En Caillerets Dessus 0.18 ha., and Carelle sous Chapelle 0.16 ha.
Bright purple in colour. Nose with lively raspberry fruit and intensity, a hint of liquorice. A rather firm and dense mouth that does not remove the wine’s nice subtlety.
Pair with Serrano ham, braised chicories, lasagnes, roasted veal.
