Pale lemon colour, the bouquet takes some searching out, but then it arrives, clearly richer than the premiers crus and with a little more oak. At the moment the wood is a little prominent, one of the two barrels being new. The fruit will work out in the end but this may take some time to marry. Drink from 2028-2036.

One again there is a smoky component to the nose of acacia, lilac, rose petal, citrus and a hint of sandalwood. The racy, precise and beautifully sleek middleweight flavors are not quite as concentrated though they do display focused power on the lemony and saliva-inducing finish that delivers first-rate depth and persistence. This tightly coiled effort should amply repay extended keeping yet isn't so compact that it couldn't be enjoyed after 5-ish or so years.
About Morey Coffinet:
Founded in the late 1970s by Michel Morey (son of the late Marc Morey) and wife Fabienne (from the Pillot clan). Their son, Thibault took over the helm of the estate in 2009. Thibault joins a long lineage of winemakers in Chassagne-Montrachet with great gravitas in their family names such as Pillot, Morey, and Coffinet. In 2014, he began to pursue biodynamic viticulture, gaining certification in 2015. A solid foundation of 1er Crus come from the southeast-facing hillside; the whites reflect the very essence of Chassagne with fragrant aromatics framed around powerful minerality, while the reds hone-in on terroir revealingroasted, muscular aromas while displaying silky texture and balance.
