Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot Vosne-Romanee 2021 750ml

The bouquet is exceptionally complex, dynamic, and evolving, immediately revealing its aristocratic nature. It harmoniously weaves together numerous nuances: red and black currant, red berries, red cherry, notes of cherry coulis, plum, sweet cherry, raspberry, a hint of red currant, a touch of raisin, and a light note of orange marmalade on the finish. Violet is the key floral dominant, along with dried herbs, exotic tea and anise, white pepper, sandalwood and frankincense, earthy (understory) and meaty nuances. Notes of refined black tea and fresh tobacco leaf, with a delicate, almost "marble-like" cool core. The palate is concentrated, structured, and incredibly elegant. The wine is medium-bodied, yet it feels full and voluminous thanks to its superb density and depth. It is an example of rare proportionality: it is simultaneously powerful (puissant) and slender (élancé), showing neither aggression nor heaviness. The texture is silky and velvety, satiny. The wine has an icy, "ice-like" texture that provides incredible precision on the palate. The acidity is lively, bright, crystalline (bright and linear). It serves as the backbone of the wine, lending it the necessary freshness, invigorating the density, and ensuring excellent balance. The tannins are fine-grained, "polished," and sweet. They are ripe and delicate; their presence is felt only as a noble, elegant structure, not as astringent grip. The tannins add a dry, firm finish, characteristic of the great wines of Vosne-Romanée. On the palate, juicy red berries and forest fruits dominate, along with notes of plum and sweet cherry. In the mid‑palate, warm spicy tones of cinnamon and clove unfold, as well as nuances of black tea and sandalwood. The finish is long, firm, tense, and persistent. The finish is "linear" and precise; it does not break off but smoothly and confidently transitions into a mineral, slightly saline, and spicy finale. The sensation is as if a sip of this wine stays with you for a long time, compelling you to return to the glass again and again.
