About this Wine
Les Houillères sits at the northern end of Chassagne-Montrachet, close to Puligny, in a part of the village renowned for Chardonnay with freshness, tension and mineral definition.
Morey-Coffinet farms 0.82 hectares here, including vines planted in 1955. The 2023 is beautifully focused, combining ripe citrus, peach and orchard fruit with a subtle creamy texture and a fine, mouth-watering grip.
There is generosity, but the defining character is precision. Bright acidity carries the fruit through the palate, while a persistent mineral quality gives the wine real length and energy.
A serious, beautifully composed Chassagne with both immediate appeal and the structure to develop further in bottle.

Tasting Notes
Old-vine single-vineyard Chassagne with ripe citrus and peach, fine grip, mineral tension and a mouth-watering, persistent finish.
Les Houillères sits at the northern edge of Chassagne-Montrachet, close to Puligny and some seriously prestigious neighbouring vineyards. Morey-Coffinet's parcel includes Chardonnay planted back in 1955, and that old-vine depth comes through beautifully in the 2023.
Ripe citrus, peach and orchard fruit lead the way, with a subtle creamy edge underneath. The palate is focused and linear, carried by bright acidity and a fine, savoury grip that gives the wine real shape.
What really stands out is the mineral tension. It builds gradually through the palate and lingers long after the fruit, leaving the finish fresh, precise and mouth-watering.
A wonderfully focused expression of northern Chassagne, combining old-vine depth with energy, grip and remarkable persistence.

The Plot
Les Houillères lies at the northern end of Chassagne-Montrachet, close to the border with Puligny-Montrachet and near the Encégnières and Vide-Bourse Premier Cru vineyard.
Morey-Coffinet farms 0.82 hectares here on clay-limestone soils, with a predominantly south-facing position on the plateau.
The parcel combines old Chardonnay vines planted in 1955. Those older vines form an important part of the character of the cuvée, bringing depth and concentration while the site's position helps retain freshness and mineral tension.
Technical Details
100% Chardonnay, hand harvested from certified organic vineyards, with Morey-Coffinet also working according to biodynamic principles.
The 0.82-hectare parcel is cultivated mechanically and trained using Guyot pruning. The fruit is harvested by hand before vinification and élevage in 228 and 350 litre oak barrels.
The domaine normally raises Les Houillères for 12 to 14 months, with 30 to 50% new oak. The 2023 also included a small clay-jar component, helping preserve freshness and precision.
Bentonite fined and bottled unfiltered, under natural cork and wax.

Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now and should give plenty of pleasure straight away. Open it for its perfume, texture and charm rather than waiting for the perfect distant moment.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?

Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.

Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
