2024 Burgundy: Domaine Morey-Coffinet - 'a great range of wines in 2024' JM

2024 Burgundy
Domaine Morey-Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet
  
A great range of wines in 2024, understated yet with fine backbones.
Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com,  December 2025

Without doubt Morey-Coffinet continues to impress with its crystalline whites and its flowing, beautifully balanced reds all of which express their vineyards with an effortless grace. The 2024s show very well. 
 
As I have written before, behind Thibault's calm and serene demeanour there is unmistakeable passion and an obsessive drive to produce wines that reflect and communicate a land respected. These are exceptional wines and continue to offer exceptional value for Burgundy of this quality.

Domaine Morey-Coffinet was established in 1980 by Thibault's father Michel, who was married to Fabienne Coffinet. She herself was from the combined winemaking families of Cecile Pillot and Fernand Coffinet. Some combined heritage then! 
 
The estate now covers 9 hectares almost exclusively within Chassagne-Montrachet itself. Under Thibault Morey, viticulture has become increasingly respectful and sensitive, with organic certification granted in 2018 and biodynamic principles espoused since 2015. Much of the ploughing is done by horse - or by electric tractor. Sheep roam the vineyards after harvest in the autumn. Most notably in the 2024 vintage, Thibault encouraged grass growth between rows in order to provide competition for the water that fell in this year. This approach seems to have been successful with fruit quality high and yields remarkably good in the vintage, nearer the norm and higher than many other producers.
 
In terms of wine-making, the fruit undergoes a long, slow pressing with minimal sulphur use before fermentation and ageing in generally larger oak vessels and in amphorae. Everything is done to maintain fruit purity, to maximise vineyard expression and to retain elegance and tension.

REDS

Domaine Morey-Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet 2024
£230 per 6 bottle case in bond
Floral red cherry fruit on the nose leads into a flowing, clean-fruited palate.  Lovely balance and finishing with a gentle grip of fine tannins. Drink 2026-2031

Domaine Morey-Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru, Clos St Jean 2024
£375 per 6 bottle case in bond
Good intensity and concentration at the core – as one would expect from this excellent premier cru at the top of the hill behind the Morey-Coffinet house itself. Intense red fruit, juicy and with good breadth. A wonderful core of fruit on the mid-palate, with red cherry and raspberry notes. Pleasing mashed berry fruit persistence and grip. Fine, silky tannins and mineral energy in evidence with fruit returning at the end. Drink 2027-2034

WHITES

Domaine Morey-Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet 2024
£295 per 6 bottle case in bond
An enticing nose of creamy peach and nectarine fruit. Citrus vibrancy too. The core shows a juicy freshness, and the finish is beautifully vibrant and fresh but retaining that juicy fruit quality and a subtle creamy quality to the texture. Such fine balance and harmony. Drink 2026-2031

Domaine Morey-Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Les Houillères 2024
£335 per 6 bottle case in bond
Good concentration of peach and citrus fruit on the nose leads into a palate of marked freshness and juicy-fruited length. What lifts this up a level is the fine mineral tension that carries the wine to the finish and creates a very fine sense of harmony. Drink 2027-2034

Domaine Morey-Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru, En Cailleret 2024
£420 per 6 bottle case in bond
The cool fresh fruit on the nose is offset and counterbalanced by a stony dimension to the palate. This beautiful combination of cool ripe fruit and powerful mineral energy give a Chassagne Premier Cru that is both mineral and refined. Long and very fine. Drink 2028-2036

Domaine Morey-Coffinet, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru, La Romanée 2024
£435 per 6 bottle case in bond
Here there is a notably mouth-watering quality to the fruit that is still nevertheless in a cooly ripe style. This is very classic and restrained but with a healthy core of fruit underpinned by a real sense of minerality and a fine persistence. Drink 2028-2036

Maison Morey-Coffinet, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru, Les Combettes 2024
£595 per 6 bottle case in bond
This is the last vintage of this wine that will be made. A vineyard that is known to benefit from a little more rain - not something it was short of in 2024, but a successful vintage for Thibault - giving a Puligny of depth and breadth while retaining a sense of direction and energy.  Drink 2028-2038 

Another very fine set of wines from Thibault Morey and Domaine Morey-Coffinet. 
 
Looking forward to hearing from you.
