2022 Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Chaumes" (Bio certifié) | Domaine Morey-Coffinet
“The Rising Star of Chassagne-Montrachet”
Morey-Coffinet produce some of the finest and most modern and most recommendable Red & White Burgundies that we have landed.

89-92 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
60 year old vines, converted from cordon to guyot training for more finesse. A vigorous mid purple, with a concentration of dark red fruit on the nose. Fills out very nicely behind, generous and with a quality red fruit without rude tannins. Drink from 2026-2030. Tasted: October 2023.
89 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound
Slightly riper aromas are comprised by notes of poached plum, dark raspberry, pepper and a pretty floral hint that are trimmed in subtle wood influence. There is fine volume, detail and underlying tension to the delicious medium-bodied flavors that deliver fine length on the dusty and chalky finish that displays a bit more rusticity. While qualitatively similar to the Les Chambres, these offer two quite different expressions.
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.
