A Family Estate Rooted in Burgundy
Founded in the late 1970s, Domaine Morey-Coffinet brings together two of Burgundy’s most respected families: the Moreys of Chassagne-Montrachet and the Coffinets of Meursault. Today, the domaine is led by Thibault Morey, who represents the new generation of Burgundian vignerons — deeply tied to tradition, but also forward-looking in farming and winemaking.
Vineyards in the Heart of the Côte de Beaune
The domaine’s 9 hectares of vineyards are primarily in Chassagne-Montrachet, with prized holdings in appellations such as Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. These parcels, rooted in limestone and clay soils, yield both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of striking terroir expression. Old vines, many planted in the mid-20th century, form the backbone of the domaine’s finest cuvées.
A Commitment to Organics and Artisanal Farming
Since 2014, Thibault Morey has farmed organically, with the estate certified in 2018. The philosophy is to keep interventions minimal and let biodiversity thrive in the vineyard. Soils are worked carefully by hand and horse, composts are used to support natural health, and chemical treatments are avoided. This natural, artisanal approach ensures wines that are vibrant, authentic, and transparent to their terroir.
Winemaking Philosophy: Tradition with a Light Touch
In the cellar, the focus is precision and balance. Grapes are harvested by hand, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in French oak — typically with a restrained percentage of new barrels. Whites like Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets show layered citrus, stone fruit, and mineral drive, while reds such as Bourgogne Côte d’Or Pinot Noir display finesse, red-fruited brightness, and subtle spice. Across the range, the wines are elegant, finely textured, and built to age gracefully.
Why Morey-Coffinet Matters Today
Domaine Morey-Coffinet is emblematic of Burgundy’s new era of fine, family-run producers: small in scale, meticulous in practice, and globally respected for quality. With organic certification, artisanal winemaking, and an unwavering respect for terroir, the domaine produces wines that capture both the depth of Burgundy’s heritage and the freshness of a new generation. For anyone seeking fine, terroir-driven Burgundy from a small family estate, Morey-Coffinet belongs at the top of the list.
