Economic profile

Coche-Dury demonstrates that a village-level appellation can carry grand cru prices when production is small and reputation is high: its Meursault village trades above most producers' grands crus. Whites have shorter drinking windows than reds, which limits the aging premium; the price is scarcity and name.
