2019 Domaine Morey-Coffinet 'Morgeot 1er Cru' Rouge Chassagne-Montrachet

100% Pinot Noir. 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 an 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.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "There is just a trace of post-bottling reduction that will probably disappear quickly as it's already possible to discern a ripe and fresh mix of red currant and warm earth. The sleek, intense and well-defined middle weight flavors possess fine depth on the dusty, palate coating and powerful finish. This isn't rustic but it's sufficiently firm and robust to make a statement."
