A Collector’s Item: Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from Coquard Loison Fleurot

The COQUARD LOISON FLEUROT CLOS DE LA ROCHE RED stands as a towering achievement of Burgundian viticulture, showcasing the structured intensity and sheer elegance of a Grand Cru from Morey-Saint-Denis. Known for its profound depth, this wine is a true testament to the unique, rocky terroir (‘Roche’ means rock) from which it is born. The meticulous work of the Coquard Loison Fleurot estate ensures a wine of crystalline purity and age-worthiness.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A deep, vibrant garnet, promising complexity and longevity.
• Nose: An intense, layered aroma profile featuring concentrated redcurrant, wild strawberry, earthy notes of truffle and mushroom, underscored by subtle oak spice.
• Palate: The mouthfeel is concentrated and authoritative, yet the signature Pinot Noir silkiness prevails. Fine-grained tannins provide superb backbone, leading to a lingering, expressive finish that only the greatest Grand Crus can deliver.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This is a wine for the cellar and the grandest of occasions. Decant with care and serve at cellar temperature (around 17°C) alongside classic British game dishes or a perfectly executed Beef Wellington.
