Located in Chassagne-Montrachet, the Domaine Morey-Coffinet is a 8.5 hectare vineyard resulting from joining the domaines of Marc Morey and Fernand Coffinet. Most of the vineyards are located in Chassagne-Montrachet, including the famous premier crus la Romanée, Remilly and les Caillerets, but the domaine also has plots in Puligny-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet. The vines are grown organically (under certification) and the aging is done in oak barrels which can be up to 60% new depending on the vintages and cuvées.

An icon of Chassagne-Montrachet and a veritable rarity, this Chassagne-montrachet premier cru Dent de Chien is emblematic of Domaine Morey-Coffinet’s savoir-faire. Here there are 700 square metres of vines planted at the start of the 1970s and grown biodynamically. The Chardonnay used in this cuvée enjoys the benefits of light brown earth rich in chalk and pebbles, as well as southern vegetation including box trees, almond trees, and white oaks. Made to be aged, this wine has a golden yellow hue that announces a richly powerful, ripe texture. It lingers on the palate, finishing on a mineral and saline note. Its aromatic bouquet is also remarkably noble. We find notes of gentle spice, chalk, white flowers, apple, and pear. We recommend keeping it in the cellar for several years and decanting it several hours before serving. Dishes with a maritime touch would make for excellent pairings, for example a shrimp risotto, lobster in a creamy sauce, or a turbo fillet.
