Histoire du domaine
The origins of the Coche-Dury estate date back to the interwar period in Meursault. For a long time, a significant proportion of its production was sold in bulk to Burgundian wine merchants. From 1964 onwards, Georges Coche expanded the vineyard and steered the estate increasingly towards bottling on the premises. His son Jean-François subsequently took over the family business. In 1975, his marriage to Odile Dury led to the adoption of the name Coche-Dury. Jean-François gradually expanded the estate’s holdings, notably through the acquisition of plots in the climats of Meursault and in Volnay. Raphaël Coche-Dury joined the estate in 1997 and initially worked alongside his father. He is now solely responsible for the estate’s management, the running of the vineyard and the winemaking. The estate currently cultivates around 10.5 hectares under vine, with the majority of the land situated in the commune of Meursault.
Les Enseignères (Puligny Montrachet)
Les Enseignères is a vineyard lieu-dit in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, claimed at the Village level and dedicated primarily to Chardonnay. It is located immediately below the Grands Crus Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. Several producers describe its soils as clay-limestone. The east or south-east exposure and the altitude range of 230 to 320 meters published by the BIVB apply to the appellation as a whole and cannot be attributed precisely to the entire lieu-dit.

Histoire de la parcelle
The toponym is documented as "les Sensennières" in 1740. In the late 1960s, Les Enseignères is said to have been presented to the INAO with a view to classification as a Premier Cru alongside Champ Gain; Champ Gain obtained this classification in 1970, unlike Les Enseignères, which remained at the Village level.
