Founded in 1978 when Michel Morey and his wife Fabienne Coffinet combined vineyard parcels they'd received as wedding gifts.

So, with this rollcall of Chassagne icons at its core, it remains decidedly Chassagne to this day, with almost all of its Domaine holdings lying within the Chassagne-Montrachet borders, the one exception being its premier cru Puligny Montrachet Les Pucelles. Morey-Coffinet also includes grand cru parcels in Batard Montrachet and Corton Charlemagne, as well as many other premier crus.
