Perched high up the slope where the trees meet the sky, "La Romanée" is the high-altitude crown jewel of southern Chassagne. The Morey-Coffinet family’s 0.81-hectare plot was planted back in 1957, making these gnarled vines nearly 70 years old. Thibault treats this parcel with reverence, letting the high-elevation cool breeze and low-intervention biodynamics speak without heavy-handed oak masking the site's natural cut.

The terroir here is pure white, pebbly limestone with thin, highly eroded soils that force the ancient roots straight into bedrock. That elevation preserves blinding acidity and aromatic high notes. This 2024 is packed with white peach, toasted almonds, honeysuckle, and citrus blossom. It enters with silky elegance before unleashing a surge of crystalline minerality and muscular length that demands a place in your cellar.
