The producer
Based in Flagey, but with six Grand Cru holdings from Flagey to Gevrey, the triple-named estate has come into its own under current generation director Claire Fleurot and her talented young winemaker Thomas Colladot.
With a deep belief that great wines are created in the vineyard Coquard-Loison-Fleurot has a stellar collection of Burgundian terroir to work on with 0.18ha Grands Echezaux, 1.29ha Echezaux, 0.64ha Clos de Vougeot, 1.17ha Clos de la Roche, 0.17ha Clos St Denis and 0.32ha Charmes-Chambertin.
The style is still evolving but with a light extraction and a definite but delicate use of new oak that makes for elegant wines showing fruit purity that expresses their terroirs. Should we call this domaine a future star of Burgundy when the wines are already held in great respect? And are in great demand? Let’s just say it’s a star producer still on the rise.
The wine
Coquard-Loison-Fleurot owns 1.17 hectares in Clos de la Roche, one of the domaine’s impressive selection of six grand cru holdings. These are wines of purity and transparency, with abundant red fruit, chiselled textures, and a soft yet lively finish.
