Tasting Notes

Goedhuis, July 2019
One of the highest vineyards in the appellation, with minimal top soil. The result is a beautifully direct and mineral style of wine with extraordinary intensity. This is driven and concentrated with a line of lemon sherbet keeping it alive and bright. On the finish it almost has a degree of tannic structure. The wine is so intense but beautifully lively and has great potential to age.

Burghound, June 2020,
Score: 91There are whispers of citrus rind, petrol and resin to the fresh and cool aromas of green apple and soft spices, all of which is trimmed in admirably deft wood. The sleek, intense and well-detailed middle weight flavors are not especially concentrated though there is good minerality which carries over to the slightly warm finale. This is really quite pretty though it could use a bit more depth, which my rating assumes will develop if held to maturity. I would add that the warmth is enough to notice so I would serve this a bit cooler than you otherwise might. Drink 2024+ Outstanding

Producer
Coffinet Duvernay

The Coffinet family are very much part of Chassagne Montrachet’s wine aristocracy, having owned vineyards in the village since the mid-1800s. As with many Burgundian families, there are many offshoots, the result of generations of intermarriage with other famous local names. Our latest new discovery stems from Fernand Coffinet, whose daughter Laura met Philippe Duvernay from Rully, to create the exciting under-the-radar estate of Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay. Their 7 hectares of vines are split between village, eight different Premiers Crus and a gem of a parcel of Grand Cru.
Region
Chassagne Montrachet
The white wines of Chassagne Montrachet can be difficult to distinguish from Puligny. At their most typical they are slightly fleshier and more hedonistic, but are often just as mineral and refined making the two almost inseparable. When distinguishable, they offer notes of honeysuckle, lime blossom and honey. Many have become quite approachable when young. It is larger than Puligny with vineyards totalling over 330 hectares. Though it shares both the grand cru vineyards of Le Montrachet and Bâtard Montrachet, it has sole ownership of the miniscule Criots Bâtard Montrachet. Similar to Puligny, Chassagne also grows Pinot Noir, which can be austere when young. A small amount of red Chassagne is also made.
