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 extensive history in the region. With a stable foundation of Premier Crus from the southeast-facing hillside, the whites speak to the very essence of Chassagne, with fragrant aromas framed by powerful minerality. Michel’s son, Thibault, joined the business in the late 1990s, and the domaine’s wines have since reached new heights, pushing the quality of the domaine to a whole different level with his expressive, powerful, wonderfully hedonistic wines.
"At this early stage, the 2014 vintage in Burgundy appears to be one of those rare breeds in the region—a year in which both the reds and whites are potentially excellent. The whites show a combination of ripe fruit, concentration and density on the palate, along with vibrant structures that should give them youthful appeal and allow for aging too."—Bruce Sanderson, May 31, 2016
