Coche-Dury’s Meursaults are among the most coveted white wines in the world. They are known for their precision, distinctly reductive style and combination of power and refinement. Of course with the recognisable aromas of flint, smoke and light sulphur notes. The use of oak is, as always, refined and never dominant. Coche-Dury harvests early in the season and always by hand. Yields are low, the wines mature for at least 18 months in oak barrels. A winery that excels not only in craftsmanship, but also in mystique. Wines with enormous ageing potential. An absolute ico

Overview of the Wine
No Girls celebrates the belief that empowered women create empowered wine—and champions this profession's many talented and independent women and beyond.
The wines are crafted by Karen Gasparotti, Resident Vigneronne and for Bionic Wines. The wines have earned routinely high accolades, with Wine Spectator calling them "some of the best Washington wines ever rated" by the magazine.
The grapes come from the La Paciencia vineyard, which means patience in Spanish—appropriate since the project was ten years in the making. The tightly spaced vines, planted on an angle in the Stones of the Walla Walla Valley, give No Girls a personality all its own, and the wines are focused and pure. Food-friendly creations reflect finesse, elegance, charm, and character.
Historically, women were excluded from the critical stages of wine production, hampered by the prevailing societal belief that it was strictly "a man's work." No Girls offers a new narrative driven by women's strength and resilience. The wines are as modern, opinionated, and powerful as the name suggests.

Tasting Notes
Right away on the nose this offers alluring red rose petals that combine with menthol, orange peel, white pepper and a dusting of Umami. The palate is plush and seamless with serious texture and verve. Medium to full-bodied red fruits parade with wet stone, Parma ham, kumquat zest and shades of steak tartare on the palate. Complex, delicious and neatly textured, enjoy this beauty now and over the next few years. Drink 2025-2033.

[The] glowing medium ruby-blue center and vivid crimson rim mirror the vibrancy that follows. The nose pulses with The Rocks District’s unmistakable stamp—crushed lava stone, wild red cherries, smoked meats, oxidized iron, and a whisper of hibiscus. Accents of white pepper, salted grapefruit rind, and wild herbs add further dimension. On the palate, it flows with elegance—medium-bodied and framed by lithe, silken tannins that glide rather than grip. A current of fresh acidity keeps the energy high, while savory flavors—roasted game, wet slate, and dried citrus peel—unfurl in a seamless arc. The finish lingers with a quiet, earthy resonance and lifted floral tones, making each sip feel like a deepening conversation. This is a wine that doesn’t shout, but rather speaks with clarity, soul, and intention.

96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The vineyard here is later ripening and so the grapes in the 2022 Grenache get more time to hang and develop complexity and flavor. Light-bodied in style, the wine is pretty in rose petal, peony flowers, white pepper, and a taste of strawberry tart, aged 21 months in neutral French oak. Fresh, finessed, and cohesive, it has fine-tuned tannins and a salinity that underscores its earthy, herbal side, delivering understated power and plenty of tension to age 10+ years.
96 Points - James Suckling
Dried herbs, crushed rocks, Sichuan pepper and dried flowers with ripe wild strawberries and red plums in the background. Tense, savory and fleshy in the mouth, this has medium to full body and smooth, velvety texture. Vibrant and pristine. I like the chalky tension in the end. Complex but already so inviting and enjoyable. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
94 Points - Vinous
The 2022 Grenache is distinctly savory in the glass, mixing crushed raspberry and wild blueberry with nuances of incense, exotic spice, and cedar shavings. It is soothingly round with depths of mineral-inflected wild berry fruits and citrus tones that invigorate the senses. Nuanced tannins linger without getting in the way as violet and lavender tones swirl over a bitter blackberry tinge. This is a total pleasure to taste. Deceivingly enjoyable today, the 2022 is also beautifully balanced for the cellar.
