5   Beaune
'Gréves'
1er Cru
 Chanson

AM - A moderately high-toned array of red cherry and dark currant enjoys added breadth in the form of spice, earth and poached plum wisps. There is very good volume and focused power to the attractively textured medium-bodied flavours that possess a sleekly muscular texture while exhibiting fine length on the youthfully austere, firm and mildly warm finale.

17   Beaune
'Clos des Mouches'
Rouge
1er Cru
 Chanson

AM - Enough wood and menthol characters are present to mention framing the spiced plum, black raspberry and violet-scented nose. The sleek, delicious and vibrant medium weight flavours possess very good mid-palate density while offering fine length on the moderately austere and serious finish. While this is definitely sufficiently structured to reward up to a decade of cellaring, it's not as tannic as its other Beaune 1er stablemates.

    DOMAINE COQUARD
LOISON- FLEUROT
This domaine was a serendipitous discovery in 2016 by Neal Martin of Vinous.com.
Here are some of his comments:
Winemaker Thomas Colladot allows the vineyards to articulate their own personalities so that each one offers its own take on the vintage. Clever winemaking matched with excellent terroirs.
    Bearing in mind the cost explosion of quality Burgundy in the last 3-4 years, these wines offer 'relative value' compared to the better known domaine's.
5 75cl Chambolle-Musigny
Coquard Loison-Fleurot

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy - The vines are in Les Gamaires which abuts Morey. There is incredibly beautiful pure ripe fruit, essence of raspberry. Though this shows itself to be a powerful wine it is balanced below 14% alcohol. Firm tannins behind and bounding energy

6 75cl Chambolle-Musigny
Coquard Loison-Fleurot

 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy  - Fresh purple, a little less immediately in one’s face than the Bourgogne. Slightly more delicacy on the palate but with a firm finish. There are 12 barrels of this, plus three which have been made separately from the lieu-dit Gamaires, with 40% whole bunches. This cuvée had a slightly livelier nose, with the flavours spreading further across the palate. At the time of tasting, Thomas had not decided whether to bottle this apart or to blend some or all of it with the main cuvée. A trial blend seemed to build on the advantages of the stems while developing more richness. Three stars without the Gamaires, four stars as a blend. The rating given assumes a blend. Tasted: November 2020

10 75cl Morey-Saint-Denis
Coquard Loison-Fleurot

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy - From three lieux-dits in the middle and north of the village. Notably denser purple colour compared to the Chambolle, and displaying a stricter, firmer nose. Sweet ripe cherries, lovely acidity, medium plus concentration and fine aftertaste. More muscle here and a sublime depth of rich dark cherry fruit. Makes a great contrast to the Chambolle-Musigny. Tasted: November 2018

14 75cl Morey-Saint-Denis
Coquard Loison-Fleurot

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy - From three lieux-dits including Clos Solon in the middle and north of the village. Another very ebullient 2018 from Coquard-Loison-Fleurot.
Red fruit, especially raspberry, with saline notes, a little tighter in structure than the Chambolle, this shows excellent promise.
Tasted November 2019

15 75cl Gevrey-Chambertin
Coquard Loison-Fleurot

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy - No whole bunches. No real reason, shrugs Thomas. Deep purple, solid powerful exuberant fruit, some blacker notes here, black cherry with walnut, not so typical but still potentially quite fine.

11 75cl Vosne-Romanee
Coquard Loison-Fleurot

Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy - Two cuvees were made in the same way as the Chambolle experiment, but they will be blended. 40% whole bunches were used on the Violettes part, none on the rest so 20% overall. Bright mid purple. The whole bunch is more evident on the nose, though this could be how the sample was drawn. Really charming sumptuous dark cherry and ripe raspberry notes, the best length by far of the village wines.
Tasted: November 2020

    DOMAINE
DIDIER FORNEROL
William Kelley -There's no smoke or mirrors at this address, just thoughtful viticulture, vinification with a considerable percentage of whole clusters and careful élevage in barrel with minimal percentages of new oak. The results are striking wines that would embarrass, nay humiliate, plenty of winemakers' grander appellations in a blind tasting—and not just out of the gates, but with bottle age too. Complex, perfumed and elegant, the wines merit a place in any serious Burgundy lover's cellar, and the modest tariff they command proves that great Burgundy remains, for the time being, accessible to all.
    If you believe it is no longer possible to obtain good Burgundy at a fair price, then please try the wines from Didier Fornerol!
19 75cl Cote de Nuits-Villages
Didier Fornerol

RP/William Kelley  - The 2018 Côte de Nuits-Villages delivers notes of raspberries, plums, sweet spices and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and youthfully chewy palate. This will be very good, but it will demand a little patience. Since Fornerol is in no hurry to sell his wines young, that won't be a problem.

LOUIS JADOT
A Top Burgundy negociant house, that also owns many excellent vineyards like the one listed below.
They have an excellent price/quality reputation - recommended!
     
18 75cl Beaune
'Aux Cras'
1er Cru
Louis Jadot

RP/William Kelley - Another highlight this year—and what's new?—is the 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Aux Cras (Domaine Gagey), an elegant, nicely concentrated wine that offers up notes of cherries, red berries, rose petals, orange rind and spicy oak. Medium to full-bodied, with refined tannins and lively acids, it's one of the house's finest Beaune bottlings.

12 75cl Nuits Saint Georges
'Les Saint Georges'
1er Cru
Louis Jadot

RP/William Kelley  -  The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges (Maison Louis Jadot) offers up notes of plums, orange rind, warm spices and sweet berry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, it's demonstrative, even dramatic in style this year, with a gourmand core of fruit and ripe structuring tannins. I suspect this will show well straight out of the gates.
