Burghound.com's Allen Meadows on Morey Coffinet:
"Michel
Morey's son Thibault calls 2010 "a lovely vintage but one that had the
smallest harvest that we have seen in more than 30 years as it was even
smaller than 2003."
2010 Morey-Coffinet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Romanee"
Sale Price $65.99
"from
a .7 ha parcel of 50+ year old vines.
Here a touch of reduction does not materially reduce the attractiveness
of the moderately exotic, spicy and sexy aromas of yellow orchard fruit
aromas that include peach, mango and apricot. There is excellent
richness and volume yet a certain reserve to the silky, round and
utterly delicious flavors that possess an impressively lingering finish
that is complex, balanced and highly persistent. Outstanding."

2010 Morey-Coffinet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Caillerets"
Sale Price $65.99
"An
unobtrusive note of oak mixes with pure, refined and notably cool
aromas of white flowers and white-fleshed fruit aromas that are
liberally sprinkled with ample stone influence. There is fine richness
to the rich, detailed and attractively energetic medium weight flavors
that culminate in a driving finish that is appealingly dry, balanced and
persistent. This is a lovely blend of finesse and punch. Outstanding."

2010 Morey-Coffinet Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru "Les Pucelles"
Sale Price $85.99
"
A restrained but very pretty nose of honeysuckle, citrus
rind and a hint of spice precedes wonderfully refined middle weight
flavors that possess a very sophisticated mouth feel. This isn't
especially dense or persistent but it certainly is wonderfully refined
with all of the class one expects from one of the best 1ers in Puligny."

2010 Morey-Coffinet Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Sale Price $186.99
"A beautifully layered
and distinguished nose displays distinct floral aromas that blend with
ever-so-slightly riper white and yellow orchard fruit scents. There is
excellent intensity to the cool and refined broad-shouldered flavors
that possess plenty of dry extract that imparts a thick, even chewy
quality to the impressively long finish. It seems relatively clear over
the last few vintages that the young vines are starting to mature and
provide better quality fruit."
