Domaine Coffinet-Duvernay

Philippe Duvernay eschews the fashion for reduction or as he refers to it, ‘modern techniques’ favouring a more traditional approach. We first tasted here we were completely bowled over by the entire range. It is evident the wines are only given justice with proper cellaring. A 1989 Caillerets served blind was the epitome of why white Burgundy is worth all the fuss when properly mature; not a hint of tiredness, just freshness and purity in abundance with multi-layered, intense complexity. Pure joy in a glass. Extremely smart wines, still under the radar, but not for long in our opinion.
