Note: The Best Affordable Wines 13.5/20
“Old barrels for young grapes. It’s original, it’s rich, and it’s perfect for sharing with a panful of roasted chestnuts.” (Gerbelle & Maurange Guide—The Best Affordable Wines). This cuvée comes exclusively from the villages and terroirs of the southern Beaujolais region known as the Pierres Dorées, from which it also takes its name. The clay-limestone soils, mixed with granite and iron oxide, give this Beaujolais freshness, lightness, and a particularly fruity aromatic intensity. A delightful treat to share with friends!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated Estate (2014 Guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire lineup)
About the estate:
"Christophe Coquard founded his own wine merchant in 2005. He offers a range of wines covering every appellation in Beaujolais, and more recently, the neighboring Mâconnais region. The labels are beautifully designed, and the prices remain reasonable. The company did not present its 2008 vintage as we had requested, but instead offered the 2009 vintage, which has a more favorable reputation. In this vintage, several crus disappointed us, but the regional appellations were bursting with fruit.”
