Morey Coffinet Bourgogne Cote d'Or Blanc 2022
Regular price $105.00
- TASTING NOTE WINE: "Mid lemon. A little positive reduction on the nose which also delivers a high-quality fruit. Definitely feels of village quality. Three plots one by Santenay, one Haut des Champs and one on the Puligny side – so covers the options in Chassagne. Go banco on this. A little scented touch to the ripe apple fruit. Sucrosity from greater ripeness as picked later. Drink from 2024-2025." 90 points (5 Star Wine) - Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Son of the late Marc Morey, Michel Morey, and his wife, Fabienne (from the Pillot clan), began the Morey-Coffinet Domaine in the late 1970s with a dowry of vineyards bestowed on them by two families with extensive history in the region. With a stable foundation of 1er Crus from the southeast-facing hillside, the whites speak to the very essence of Chassagne, with fragrant aromas framed by powerful minerality. The reds capture the roasted, muscular aromas of Chassagne terroir and display silky texture and balance. Michel’s son, Thibault, joined the business in the late 1990s, and the Domaine’s wines have since reached new heights. The estate has been certified organic since 2018 and also utilises many biodynamic principals in the vineyard. Thibault also has a policy of swapping some of his grapes with other vignerons of his generation, adding a few additional appellations to his stable. These include Corton-Charlemagne, Meursault Perrieres and Saint Aubin Les Frionnes. These wines are labelled as Maison Morey Coffinet rather than as Domaine.
