Wine Type:

White
Varietal:

100%
Chardonnay
Region, Subregion, Country:
Burgundy, France
Description:
A distinctly smoky and spicy nose combines notes of petrol, pear and citrus. The sleek, refined and stony middle weight flavours possess both fine delineation and a really lovely mouth feel before concluding in a mildly austere and impressively persistent finish. Like several wines in the range this is not presently super-complex but the underlying material is so good as is the development potential that my rating offers the benefit of the doubt that much more depth will develop in time.
Winery:
Domaine Morey-Coffinet
A family wine-growing estate at the top of the village of Chassagne Montrachet. Domaine Morey-Cof net is run by Michel Morey and his wife, Fabienne, in the late 1970s. Their son, Thibault, who joined the business in the late 1990s, continues to push the quality of the domaine to a whole different level with his expressive and wonderfully hedonistic wines. A transition is gently in progress. 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 captured the roasted, muscular aromas of Chassagne terroir and display silky texture and balance.
