Elegant and pure aromas are comprised by notes of honeysuckle, carnation, acacia, lilac, spice and citrus confit. The rich, caressing and suave medium weight flavors are also blessed with plenty of sappy dry extract, all wrapped in a lingering, firm and equally serious finale. This is both classier and finer than the Blanchot but can't match it for sheer size, weight and power.
91-94 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
Mid lemon yellow. A riper nose with some honeysuckle. This is very appealing, but not quite my expectation of Pucelles which can be much more chiselled. Attractive finish if a little softer, Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted: October 2023.
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.
