Domaine Coquard Loison Fleurot Morey Saint Denis 2021

Domaine Coquard Loison Fleurot’s Morey-Saint-Denis 2021 is a refined red Burgundy that captures the village’s hallmark mix of elegance and subtle power. Slightly more concentrated than the estate’s Chambolle-Musigny in this vintage, it offers a poised, pepper-tinged profile that is already charming yet built with care and precision. For Burgundy lovers seeking a classic, terroir-driven village wine from a rising star domaine, this is a compelling bottle to explore.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 Morey-Saint-Denis shows a vibrant, translucent ruby hue, typical of finely crafted Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The nose opens gradually, at first a touch reserved, then revealing red and dark berry notes—think wild cherries, redcurrants, and a hint of black raspberry—woven with black pepper, crushed violets, and a gentle forest-floor nuance. On the palate, this is medium-bodied with refined, silky tannins and a lively, refreshing acidity that keeps everything precise and lifted. The fruit feels pure and focused, complemented by that distinctive crack of black pepper and subtle spice, encouraging you to go back for another sip. The finish is clean and persistent rather than massive, emphasizing finesse over power. Enjoyable in its youth for its energy and perfume, it should develop additional complexity—more sous-bois, truffle, and savory detail—over the next 6–10 years, depending on your preferred maturity profile.

Production
Sourced from village-level parcels in the esteemed commune of Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits, this wine reflects a mosaic of limestone and clay soils that naturally yield structured yet refined Pinot Noir. The domaine practices careful, manual harvesting to ensure only optimally ripe and healthy grapes make it to the cellar. Vinification typically involves gentle extraction, with a thoughtful proportion of whole clusters to add aromatic lift and spice, followed by aging in French oak barrels, with a restrained use of new oak to preserve purity. The result is a wine that speaks clearly of its Morey-Saint-Denis origins: detailed, fresh, and finely etched.

Food & Serving
This Morey-Saint-Denis 2021 is an excellent partner for classic Burgundian fare and refined dishes that won’t overpower its nuance: roast chicken with herbs, duck breast, veal chops, pork tenderloin, or a mushroom risotto all work beautifully. It also shines alongside charcuterie, mild to medium-hard cheeses (Comté, Tomme, Reblochon), and dishes featuring earthy mushrooms or truffle accents. Serve at 14–16°C (57–61°F) to highlight its aromatic complexity. A brief 30–45 minutes in a decanter can help the wine open up, especially in its first few years, but extended decanting is not necessary—just enough air to coax out the nose.

Producer
Domaine Coquard Loison Fleurot is a traditional, family-run estate based in Flagey-Echézeaux in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, with roots stretching back several generations. Long something of an insider’s secret, the domaine has gained significant attention in recent years for the precision and purity of its wines. Their holdings are remarkably prestigious, including parcels in grand cru vineyards such as Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux, Grands-Echézeaux, Charmes-Chambertin, and Clos de la Roche, alongside select village and premier cru sites. Under the current generation’s stewardship, the estate has become a reference point for characterful, terroir-expressive Pinot Noir that combines classic Burgundian elegance with a modern sensitivity to detail in both vineyard and cellar.
