Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Caillerets 2012 – Domaine Morey-Coffinet
Burgundy
The Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En Caillerets from Domaine Morey-Coffinet stands as a jewel of the appellation. Located on very poor, stony, limestone-rich soil, this legendary terroir imparts a spectacular mineral tension to the Chardonnay, perfectly balanced by the characteristic generosity of Chassagne. Cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods by Thibault Morey, the wine reveals a refined bouquet of white flowers, ripe citrus, and hazelnut, underscored by a distinct, chalky nuance. On the palate, it displays a rich, dense, yet ethereal texture, driven by a precise, linear acidity and a saline finish of remarkable persistence. It possesses exceptional aging potential and makes for an exquisite pairing with fine shellfish or fish served in a rich sauce.
