Morey Saint Denis, Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot 2016

The 2016 Morey-Saint-Denis Village comes from three parcels that total around 0.70-hectare. It has a very seductive bouquet with raspberry preserve and subtle blueberry notes, detailed and feminine, practically premier cru in complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine crunchy tannins that frame the bright and vivid red fruit. It is the very precise finish that confirms this as premier cru in all but name. What an outstanding village cru. This comes highly recommended. Drink 2019-2029.

Bright ruby colour in the glass. Floral and pure on the nose, with cherry blossom, violets, and a little hedgerow too. Cool and refined. The palate is silky and fine, with blueberry and strawberry shining through with crystaline purity. Spicy and saline, this vibrant, floral and elegant Morey has just a hint of ripe, chalky tannin to add a lovely savoury edge. Long finish. Ready now, but with the intensity and freshness to drink well over the next 10 years.
