The 2024 Domaine Morey-Coffinet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Morgeot” Rouge is anticipated to be a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir. The 2024 vintage in Burgundy is considered a great vintage by Thibault Morey, even better than expected, characterized by a cooler climate and near-perfect phenolics. While it was a challenging year for Pinot Noir in the Côte de Beaune due to cold, wet weather during flowering, the fruit that ripened through a sunny August and dry September yielded reds with freshness and lift rather than sheer power. This Morgeot Rouge comes from a 0.2-hectare parcel planted in 1965, featuring clay-limestone soils that impart balance and mineral character. The vineyard is organically certified, with hand-harvested grapes aged for 14-16 months in 228- and 350-liter oak barrels, 40-50% new. Anticipated tasting notes suggest aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and violet, layered with black pepper, earth, and subtle spice. The palate is expected to be supple and finely textured, with vibrant fruit, silky tannins, and a refreshing mineral backbone, offering a lovely combination of generosity and structure. The finish is long and savory, marked by red and dark fruit, delicate spice, and lingering mineral notes. Burghound notes a fresh and peppery mix with earthy influences. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions include roast duck with cherries, coq au vin, grilled lamb chops, mushroom and thyme tart, or Comte cheese. 🥂 This mid-weight, red-fruited Chassagne is expected to drink well over the next eight years. It's an excellent choice for a celebratory dinner or a gathering with friends who appreciate fine Burgundy reds. 【The 2024 vintage is considered the best vintage Thibault Morey has tasted in almost 10 years at the estate, producing beautiful and effortless hedonistic treats.】
