2022 Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot Gevrey-Chambertin

Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot produce exceptional Burgundy, yet are still firmly under the radar for many collectors. Given they enjoy an enviable collection of six Grand Cru vineyards, and the expert winemaking skills shown by the talented Thomas Colladot, Coquard Loison-Fleurot won't remain hidden for long.

For many years the grapes from the property were sold to negociants, however as these contracts begun to expire in the early 2000's they started taking back the production, and brought on Thomas Colladot in 2010 to oversee winemaking duties. While not certified, organic practices are used in the vineyards, with all fruit hand harvested and whole cluster fermentation used where and as desired depending on the plot and vintage conditions. New oak varies between 30-50% for most wines, and élevage lasts between 15 and 18 months, before bottling is conducted in-house. The wines of Coquard Loison-Fleurot are characterised by their purity and transparency of their terroirs.

This Gevrey-Chambertin is sourced from the lieu-dit of Champerrier Bas plus parcels in En Songe and Vignes Belles.

Other Reviews....
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Village leans more towards red fruit on the nose, freshly tilled loam filtering through the raspberry and wild strawberry scents, though it needs a little more cohesion to develop during its élevage. The palate is medium-bodied with a pretty entry. Fine tannins, quite mineral-driven with that tickle of Pinoté on the finish. Delightful. Drink 2026-2036.

Similar glowing purple, this time with a spicier nose. An excellent core of predominantly raspberry fruit, a fine core to this throughout, with a little oak at the finish. Not quite so striking as the Morey but a lovely glass in the offing. Drink from 2028-2034.

This is also attractively fresh and bright with its cool and airy nose of the essence of wild red berries, forest floor and a whiff of the sauvage. Once again there is fine volume to the solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that possess focused power and almost no rusticity on the impressively long and complex finale. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth considering. Drink through 2030+.
