Vintage Character Domaine Morey-Coffinet Chassagne Montrachet 'La Romanée' Premier Cru 2024 expresses the cooler year's restraint through a substantial but finely directed white. Burgundy's persistent rain and relatively low temperatures encouraged mildew and grey rot, so the season demanded close attention to fruit health. Morey-Coffinet encouraged grass between the rows to compete for excess water, an approach associated with good quality at the estate. La Romanée retains a healthy core of ripe fruit, yet the wine's mouthwatering energy and measured outline make this a fresh, classical interpretation of the site.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing White flowers, citrus zest and ripe pear lead into a restrained hint of toast. The palate balances fruit depth with a cool, mineral quality, moving steadily towards a persistent finish. It is neither thin nor overtly rich: the attractive feature is the way its ripe centre remains held in a precise line. Grilled lobster with butter, roast chicken with morels, or steamed grouper with ginger are useful partners. Their gentle richness complements the wine's substance, while restrained seasoning leaves the floral detail and clean mineral ending unobscured.
Winery Background Domaine Morey-Coffinet was established in 1980 through the marriage of Fabienne Coffinet and Michel Morey, uniting vineyards inherited from two winegrowing families. Their son Thibault joined in 2000 and helped direct a gradual change in farming: herbicides were abandoned in 2002, organic certification followed in 2018, and biodynamic principles have been practised since 2015. Hand harvesting and careful sorting remain central. In the historic cellars, oak barrels sit alongside amphorae and egg-shaped vessels, with the choice of containers guided by balance and the character of each wine.
