Established in 1940 in Meursault, Domaine Fabien Coche was formerly known under two names: Alain Coche-Bizouard (Fabien’s father) and Fabien Coche-Bouillot (Bouillot being the surname of his wife Magali, who works with him at the estate). The name of Fabien Coche makes things much simpler. It was Fabien’s grandfather?–?who happens to be the brother of the grandfathers of Raphaël Coche-Dury and Jean-Marc Roulot?–?who, when he was a cooper, decided to buy plots of land and cultivate them. Fabien’s father, Alain, made the leap into winemaking by acquiring vines that now make up the estate. Since 1998, Fabien and his wife Magali have been working diligently to upgrade their equipment and build a new vathouse, ensuring they always have the best tools for their craft.
The twelve-hectare vineyard owns vines in 28 appellations, with parcels scattered around the communes of Meursault, Pommard, Auxey-Duresses, Monthélie, Saint-Romain, Saint-Aubin and Puligny-Montrachet and many more. Since the end of the 1990s, the vines, averaging 80 years old, have been cultivated according to organic farming principles. The estate was awarded its organic certification in 2023. Traditional methods are used in the winery to produce beautifully balanced wines with a pronounced minerality. The wood ageing process carried out in large vessels is expertly managed, using only a small amount of new wood to retain the wines’ freshness and elegance. No punching of the cap, pumping over the must or stirring of the lees takes place. The wine is aged for 16 to 18 months, except for the Aligoté, which is matured in stainless steel vats.
Fabien Coche supplements his offering with a wine merchant business, increasing his 12-hectare estate by a further 3 hectares of vines. He sources grapes from trusted winegrowers he’s worked with since 2007, ensuring healthy raw materials.

The epitome of elegance and finesse, this 100% Pinot Noir produced by the Fabien Coche estate is a blend of grapes from four separate parcels totalling one hectare of vines. To combine authenticity and purity, the vines are tended according to organic farming principles. The grapes are meticulously sorted at peak ripeness to preserve the high-quality raw material. Fermentations are triggered spontaneously by native yeasts naturally present in the berries. The cuvée is then carefully aged in oak casks before being bottled.
The Bright ruby-red colour reveals a fresh and crunchy nose bursting with delicious red fruit and floral aromas. The silky and complex palate delicately affirms the aromas of the nose and gently leads to a long and persistent finish. This Burgundy wine is a real success that should be enjoyed young.
