Chassagne-Montrachet
The intimate Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay is located in the illustrious village of Chassagne. The estate has been in the Coffinet family since the mid-1800s and now belongs to Philippe Duvernay and his partner Laura Coffinet.
Overall, an intense concentration of aromas and flavors are the dominant characteristics of the estate, beautiful wines, capable of aging for decades. Their Chassagne Village comes entirely from the Blanchots Dessous wine-growing climate, located just south of Criots Batard Montrachet. They also present a remarkable set of Premiers Crus vineyards, including Fairendes, Caillerets and Maltroie. Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay is fortunate to own parcels from the two Premiers Crus sites adjoining the great Grand Cru Montrachet itself, Dent de Chien and Les Blanchots Dessus, which Philippe is fond of and calls “Pied de Montrachet”.
Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay extends over seven hectares in total, four of which are dedicated to its exceptional white wine, in particular Chassagne, and three to red.
