Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay Les Fairendes – Chassagne-Montrachet – White – 2018:

 

The Quintessence of Premier Cru Chardonnay from Burgundy

The COFFINET DUVERNAY CHASSAGNE MONTRACHET 1ER CRU LES FAIRENDES WHITE is a superb showcase of Chardonnay from the hallowed grounds of the Côte de Beaune. Sourced from the prestigious ‘Les Fairendes’ Premier Cru climat, this wine masterfully balances the rich, chalky minerality of Chassagne with the luxurious texture gained from expert oak aging.

Tasting Notes (Reference Vintage)

• Appearance: Bright pale gold with green hints, indicative of youth and concentration.
• Nose: A complex and evolving bouquet that features intense aromas of ripe white fruit (peach, pear), toasted hazelnut, acacia honey, and a distinct chalky mineral signature.
• Palate: Full-bodied and structured, offering a velvety texture and remarkable power. This richness is beautifully cut by vibrant acidity, leading to an exceptionally long, saline finish.

Pairing & Service

This age-worthy Premier Cru demands equally sophisticated dishes. Serve chilled at 54-57°F (12-14°C) to allow its complexity to unfold.

• Classic Pairings: Pan-Seared Halibut with Brown Butter Sauce, Roast Chicken with Morel Mushroom Pan Sauce.
• Luxury Pairings: Butter-Poached Lobster Tail, Upscale Seafood Risotto with Saffron.
