Coquard Loison-Fleurot
About Coquard Loison-Fleurot
On a visit to Sebastien Cathiard of Domaine Sylvain Cathiard, Steen Öhman (Winehog.org) was strongly advised to give a visit to Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot to taste the wines of Thomas Colladot – who had worked with Cathiard before returning to the family estate. It’s pretty clear that the arrival of Thomas Colladot in 2010 has moved this low-key estate into another league quality-wise, and the demand for the wines is now expanding.
“Coquard Loison Fleurot is your new favorite domaine.” Neal Martin (Vinous)
“It was the visit that sent tingles down my spine. It was the visit where I had to maintain my Lady Gaga-approved poker face in order to disguise the thrill.” Neal Martin (Vinous)
“These well-made wines are well-worth seeking out as I was impressed.” – Allen Meadows (Burghound)
“If I should mention a future star in Burgundy I would mention Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot as they have both the talent and a quite unique collection of vineyards – including a large selection and proportion of Grand Crus.” - Steen Öhman (Winehog.org)
Combining the style of many revered producers, stylistically Coquard-Loison-Fleurot reminded Neal Martin (Vinous) of Mugneret-Gibourg or his nearby neighbor Emmanuel Rouget, with “wines brimming full of crystalline red fruit and tension with satin textures and spine-tingling tension”

Vinous (89-91)The 2017 Morey-Saint-Denis Village comes from four climats scattered across the appellation and sees one-third new oak. Compared to the Chambolle Village, there is more fullness of fruit on the nose, which offers red cherries, crushed strawberry and rose petal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a fine bead of acidity, a little piquancy toward the finish and a bit of orange zest on the aftertaste. Excellent. |

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Villages also comes from three vineyards and is matured in one-third new oak. This has an impressive bouquet like the Morey-Saint-Denis, with delineated red berry fruit and fine mineralité considering this is only a village cru. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin and well-judged acidity, dipping a little toward the finish but still equipped with fine detail and precision. Excellent, albeit maybe earlier drinking than the Morey-Saint-Denis. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village comes from four sectors, 50% in the south and 50% in the north of the appellation, and was completely de-stemmed. This shows just a bit of reduction on the nose, although that will be resolved by bottling time. The medium-bodied palate is fresh and sorbet-like, displaying grainy tannin and kirsch and cassis notes toward the joyous finish. Expect a decade of drinking pleasure. |

The vines here are between 75 and 80 years old. It has a very clean and precise bouquet with shimmering red cherry and strawberry fruits that are exquisitely detailed. You can really feel the Beaumonts contribution here. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, perfectly judged acidity and just the right amount of tension to keep this premier cru on its tiptoes. Outstanding. |

The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, a granular texture and a salty, slightly brusque but fresh finish. Fine, but it will need some bottle age to smooth its edges. A second cuvée without the stems is perhaps just a little less interesting on the nose. Thomas Collardot is not sure what the final blend will constitute but I suspect there will be a few stems in there. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village, whose malolactic finished at the beginning of September, matured in 25-30% new oak, has a much more defined and fresher nose than the Bourgogne Rouge with lively black cherry and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is ripe and sweet, yet nicely controlled, the oak neatly integrated with quite a precocious tart finish. Maybe it just needs a little more persistency, but this will do nicely. (This blend includes 20% whole bunch. I tried a 40% whole bunch that is being trialled in three barrels. I actually preferred this, so it will either be blended together or bottled separately - no decision has been made yet.) |

Vinous (88-90)The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Village, whose malolactic finished at the beginning of September, matured in 25-30% new oak, has a much more defined and fresher nose than the Bourgogne Rouge with lively black cherry and crushed strawberry scents. The palate is ripe and sweet, yet nicely controlled, the oak neatly integrated with quite a precocious tart finish. Maybe it just needs a little more persistency, but this will do nicely. (This blend includes 20% whole bunch. I tried a 40% whole bunch that is being trialled in three barrels. I actually preferred this, so it will either be blended together or bottled separately - no decision has been made yet.) |

Vinous (86-88)The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Village, matured in 30% new oak, has a light bouquet with airy wild strawberry scents, missing the complexity of the previous vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with a granular texture, fine acidity, nothing powerful but it is precise on its almost Morey-like finish. Give this 2-3 years in bottle. |
