When you look at the pedigree of "Les Houillères," it’s a wonder this vineyard isn't classified as a Premier Cru. Nestled directly adjacent to Puligny-Montrachet's top sites, this lieu-dit carries the heritage of Chassagne’s elite winemaking families. Under Thibault Morey's thoughtful biodynamic regimen, this specific plot has become a cult-favorite jewel in the Morey-Coffinet cellar, showing a laser-like focus that rivals bottle prices twice its ticket.  

The vineyard’s old vines—planted across the 1950s and 1970s—sit in fine, gravelly clay resting right above limestone bedrock. That age lends incredible density and complexity to the juice, while the site’s cooler position brings chiseled drive. In the glass, it erupts with white blossoms, salty ocean spray, and lemon oil. The mouthfeel is cut-glass precise, balanced by an addictive mid-palate weight that lingers for minutes.
