2022 Domaine Morey-Coffinet Chassagne-Montrachet les Houilleres

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.
Vinous/Neal Martin – “The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houillères, located on the border with Puligny, has an understandably Puligny-like bouquet, a little more malic than the Domaine’s other cuvées. The palate is very well-balanced with a tangy, marmalade-tinged entry. Cohesive from start to finish with plenty of extract on the finish, this is a well-crafted, quite intense Chassagne-Montrachet that should mature well in bottle. A superb Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houillères – impossible to pronounce but worth getting your tongue in a twist for. I felt this was more Premier Cru in quality.”
