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 (90-92)The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet of dark cherries, raspberry and light tobacco aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is very smooth and harmonious, with lightly spiced red fruit. Gains weight and grip toward the very finely detailed finish, which nudges Premier Cru in quality. Yeah... that good. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village, matured in 30% new oak, has a generous bouquet of red berry fruit, plus touches of brown spice and light loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and lightly spiced red berry fruit mixed with white pepper and sage, dovetailing into a slightly compact but fresh finish. Fine. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, which took the longest to finish its alcoholic fermentation, has a ripe, opulent bouquet of black cherries, blueberry and cassis aromas, perhaps not displaying the delineation of the previous two vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fine acidity and good energy. The grippy, slightly oaky finish will need time to knit together. Give it three or four years in bottle. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a gorgeous bouquet of dark berry fruit, crushed stone and touches of truffle and iodine. It just bursts from the glass. The palate is very ripe and sweet on the entry, displaying a lot of sucrosity and a very vibrant finish laden with cola-tinged black fruit. It might just be a little too much for my palate, although I suspect it will be very seductive. |

Vinous (95-97)The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru was the most closed and backward on the nose when I tasted the wines from barrel, but there is tightly coiled energy here, along with orange-sorbet-infused red fruit. The palate is beautifully defined with a slightly grainy texture, fine tannins and disarming purity of fruit toward the crystalline finish. An outstanding 2018 from CLF. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a fragrant, perfumed bouquet with violet and iris petals infusing shimmering black cherry and wild strawberry fruit; touches of orange pith emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and very harmonious, showing a velvety texture that is very sleek and tempting. A lovely Echezeaux. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis Village has a detailed bouquet of blackberry and raspberry preserves mixed with cedar and light sous-bois notes. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy, slightly savory opening. Nicely balanced, with good acidity, this segues into a peppery finish of moderate length. Enjoy over the next decade. |
