    The wine

    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.
