![Domaine Morey-Coffinet 'Clos Saint Jean' 1er Cru Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 2022](http://wainscottmain.com/cdn/shop/files/53C6BE51-E750-4489-A4C7-AE7C44D9A4AC_{width}x.jpg?v=1713624749)
Beautifully scented red fruit on the nose, floral and fine. The palate shows the same fruit quality, flowing, silky, poised and pristine. Texturally cushioned and caressing with a finish that accentuates the purity and finesse in its fine limestone, white stone presence and persistence. This is very good. Drink 2027-2035.
Thibault took the helm at Domaine Morey-Coffinet in 2001, though he had been working there with his father Michel for some years already. The domaine itself is a result of the marriage of two established Chassagne families, with Thibault’s grandparents being Marc Morey and Fernand Coffinet. Thibault moved the estate to organic viticulture and he espouses biodynamic practices too. An increasing number of the vineyards are worked by horse while sheep roam between the vines for a few weeks in the autumn to tidy up after harvest! Larger barrels as well as amphorae are increasingly used, all with the aim of allowing the fruit purity and vibrancy to be fully expressed.
