2024 Morey-Coffinet Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

100% Chardonnay. From a well-situated plot, a 0.13 hectare parcel of vines planted in 1996 at the top of the vineyard, located on the Chassagne side. Soil: Very rich, deep yet gravelly. Aged 16 months in 350 L oak barrels, 50% new. Unfiltered.

Jasper Morris (95-98) – “Glowing mid lemon yellow. A regal nose without being in any way too weighty. Obviously, the sensation of fruit weight was there from the very start, yet it keeps building. There are little tentacles of ripe fruit without ever over balancing. The acidity is perfectly judged and integrated. This will age exceptionally well. A very striking Batard.”

Burghound *Don’t Miss* – “Restrained and smoky aromas possess a plethora of floral elements that include those of carnation, acacia, lilac and rose petal, along with citrus confit and spice wisps. There is outstanding volume to the utterly delicious and tautly muscular flavors that display stunningly good persistence on the balanced, very dry and compact finale. Despite being clearly built-to-age, this actually quite an elegant Bâtard that should richly reward a decade plus of keeping. If you can find, don’t hesitate.”
