Morey-Coffinet produce some of the finest and most modern and most recommendable Red & White Burgundies that we have landed.

92-95 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
A faint lime green touch in the colour. The bouquet has a chiselled mineral quality, along with a touch of positive reduction as well. Strict on the limestone with an excellent intensity without any heaviness, perfectly judged. Delicately ripe finish. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted: October 2023.

A mild suggestion of the exotic can be found on the aromas of white peach, wet stone, honeysuckle and a hint of spice. There is better underlying tension to the more detailed and markedly more mineral-driven flavors that are quite sleek before culminating in a sneaky long, balanced and dry-in-the-best sense finale. Lovely and one to consider.
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.
