Coffinet Duvernay came to life in the 1980s, when Fabrice Coffinet and his wife Laura Duvernay decided to pool their family vineyards in Chassagne Montrachet and bottle under a shared name. The Coffinet side contributed several generations of village rooted experience, while the Duvernay parcels added extra depth and nuance to the patchwork of sites. Rather than chase rapid expansion, Fabrice chose to build the estate slowly, concentrating on careful farming and a gentle, detail focused approach in the cellar. Over time that quiet persistence has turned a small family venture into one of Chassagne’s most dependable and characterful addresses.
