Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy
Morey-Coffinet
Since the late 1970s
Morey-Coffinet sits at the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, its name drawing together three of the village's great winemaking families: Morey, Pillot and Coffinet. The estate was founded in the late 1970s by Michel Morey and his wife Fabienne, and is run today by their son Thibault, widely described as the rising star of Chassagne. He farms its eight and a half hectares organically, certified since 2018, and works with a light hand in the cellar, favouring natural ferments and minimal sulphur. The holdings are a roll-call of fine white terroir, including the premier crus La Romanée and En Cailleret, Puligny's Les Pucelles and the grand cru Bâtard-Montrachet. The whites are precise and mineral, the reds silky and balanced.

2021 Chassagne-Montrachet
Indent price: $232.00 per bottle
89 points. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
In bottle. Pale colour and a lean tight nose but suggesting more fruit to come. There is a light sulphur reduction which will soon blow off. Clean and pure with an energetic thread, correctly oaked behind. Good length to finish. Drink from 2024-2027.
88 points. Allen Meadows, Burghound
This is also attractively cool and airy with its array of various white orchard fruit, zest and rosemary oil scents. The rich and solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors exhibit better depth and length on the moderately rustic finale that is notably more tightly wound. This is a good Chassagne villages that should drink well after only a year or two of keeping yet repay 5 to 8. 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.
