The Wine & Estate:
“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”

A few years back one could find wines from Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot in local supermarkets in Beaune, and quite a lot of the wine from this estate was sold to negociants. Things are however changing rapidly – and the Coquard-Loison-Fleurot wines are now in high demand in more and more areas of the world. This is however in my view only the beginning – as these wines here are truly magnificent.
My journey towards Coquard-Loison-Fleurot began with tasting a 2012 Clos Vougeot in January 2015 – bought in Carrafour in Beaune in 2014.
I was quite impressed even though the oak at the time was rather forward, and I decided to explore this estate further. In November 2015 I visited Domaine Cathiard, and Sebastien Cathiard suggested that I should visit Coquard-Loison-Fleurot to taste the wines of his friend Thomas Colladot – who had worked with Cathiard before returning to the family estate.
So I tried to contact Claire Fleurot, who is running the office side of the Coquard-Loison-Fleurot estate, and after some attempts I was finally ready to visit the estate in late May of 2018.
Great to finally visit this rising star and to taste the full lineup .. such talent, such delightful wines.
A family estateDomaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot is a true Burgindian family estate – and as the name suggest – the family have several branches – and presumably therefore also many different vineyards.
The families are working together with the different generations participating in the vineyard and cellar work … very cheerful and friendly vignerons.
The core people at the estate are Claire Fleurot, who is the manager and head of sales – and then the talented winemaker Thomas Colladot. They are both a part of the family and are responsible for setting the pace at the new Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot.
It’s pretty clear that the arrival of Thomas Colladot in 2010 has moved the estate into another league quality wise, and the demand for the wines is now growing rapidly.
The style has changed and the wines are now being further refined – and while Thomas Colladot has developed and refined his talent at Domaine Cathiard – he has created his own style at Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot.
The inspiration is pretty clear – the cellar is very clean and orderly … as at Domaine Cathiard, the wines offer lovely pure, juicy and refined fruit with a clear signature.
I would say that the style is lighter than Cathiard, and perhaps more towards Domaine Georges Noëllat and Domaine Comte Liger-Belair fruit wise. The oak signature is in a sense lighter than the two estates mentioned – but also with a quite light extraction … transparent and refined wines with a lovely expression of terroir.
The style is distinct with casks from Reymond – just as Domaine Cathiard. While the oak is relatively light – around 30% for the village wines to 50% – 60% for the top Grand Crus – it’s still a significant element of the style or the signature – as it is for the other top estates mentioned above.
In other words .. the best of many worlds – and while I’m sure Thomas Colladot still is developing and refining his wines, the wines are already showing great promise and tremendous quality …
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.
With the vineyard prices going berserk in Burgundy it’s quite crucial to have top vineyards, and Domaine Coquard-Loison-Fleurot have Grand Crus almost in abundance … with holdings in Grands Echezeaux, Echezeaux, Clos de Vougeot, Clos St. Denis, Clos de la Roche, Charmes Chambertin. A rather unique collection – and great to see a talent like Thomas Colladot unfold these terroirs.
