2022 Domaine Morey-Coffinet Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Chaumes" (Bio certifie)

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.”
