🏰【Neal Martin hailed the 2016 Coquard Loison Fleurot Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru as one of the vintage's outstanding expressions, noting its seductive bouquet and fantastic length.】 This Grand Cru from a rising star domaine in Burgundy offers a beautifully defined nose of dark cherry, bergamot, and crushed strawberry. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with crunchy red berry fruit, a fine bead of acidity, and a silky-smooth texture, showcasing elegance and a seamless balance of fruit, spice, and fine-grained tannins. The 2016 vintage, though challenging, yielded excellent red Burgundies, known for their transparency in youth and good aging potential, with this wine promising enjoyment now through 2035. 🍴 This elegant red Burgundy is a superb match for refined cuisine. Think classic pairings like roasted duck, goose, or game birds. It also shines alongside hare stew, venison terrine, or mature cheeses. For a truly luxurious experience, consider dishes featuring morels and truffles, or a perfectly cooked rack of lamb or steak. 🥂 Perfect for a celebratory dinner, a serious wine tasting, or any special occasion where a truly exceptional and age-worthy red Burgundy is desired. Its current drinkability combined with its aging potential makes it a versatile choice for both immediate enjoyment and future cellaring.
