Chambolle Musigny, Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot 2016

Tasting Notes

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from two parcels that Thomas told me were only slightly touched by the frost, and it matured in one-third new oak. It has a crisp, well-defined and very natural bouquet that unfolds gracefully in the glass with vibrant red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannin and tightly knit red fruit. Maybe it misses a little weight toward the back end due to the difficulties in the appellation and the frost, but I admire the transparency here.

Cask sample. Mid purplish crimson. Gentle cherry fruit. Quite straight-laced on the palate with extremely fine tannins. Tight and fresh with the dark-red fruit emerging on the finish. Juicy and pure.
