2021 Morey-Coffinet Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houilleres

91 Points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

“Made from one old vine section and one recent planting. Not bottled and showing the barrel a little bit much at the moment, along with some reduction. There is a greater wealth of fruit here, fresh plum with a touch of citrus, and a little more flesh at the back, with the oak now completely tamed. Drink from 2024-2028.”

“This also reflects a smoky component on the aromas of petrol, crushed anise and white peach. Once again there is fine volume and richness to the unusually powerful larger-bodied flavors that display very fine length and persistence on the bitter zest-inflected finish. This isn't refined but it offers solid quality for a villages Chassagne and is worth considering. 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.”
