Domaine Morey Coffinet, Chardonnay 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy, France

The Morey-Coffinet legacy began in 1978 when two legendary Chassagne families united their vineyards, creating one of the village's benchmark producers. Under Thibault Morey's stewardship since 2009, the domaine has embraced biodynamic farming while maintaining the precision and elegance that defines great Burgundy. This village Chardonnay showcases the pure essence of Chassagne terroir from old vines planted between 1964 and 1980.

Tasting Notes

Mid-lemon yellow with generous minerality and terroir expression. The nose reveals orchard fruit, green apple, and citrus notes complemented by subtle savoury undertones. On the palate, it displays linear balance with keen acidity, fine weight, and a sapid, chamomile-tinged finish. The wine shows remarkable purity and tension, with light ripe citrus notes layering over the core orchard fruit flavors.

Food Pairings

Roasted white fish with herbs, grilled shellfish, creamy risotto, roasted poultry with lemon
