From a 0.5 hectare parcel of vines planted in 1955 and 1956, located close to the Encégnières and Vide-Bourse 1er Crus. Fermentation begins in tank, then the wine is aged in 228 and 350 L French Allier oak barrels for 12 months, 35% new.
Morey-Coffinet was founded in the late 1970s by Michel Morey (son of the late Marc Morey) and his wife Fabienne (from the Pillot clan). Their son, Thibault, succeeded the couple, taking the helm of the estate in 2009. Thibault joined his father in a long lineage of winemakers in Chassagne-Montrachet with great gravitas in their family names such as Pillot, Morey, and Coffinet. He has earned the respect of his peers through his thoughtful and detailed approach. In 2014, he began to pursue biodynamic viticulture, and in 2015 gained certification.
Thibault’s 2022s are a marvel, walking the fine line between lusciousness, lovely reductive qualities and a powdery chalkiness that elevates the wine, showing great depth and complexity. With his organic certification, the wines are now reaching the pinnacle of their appellations; refined, with gorgeous aromatics and texture. Here in the Côte de Beaune, Thibault crafts wines that are nothing less than profound.
