Note: Les Meilleurs Vins à Petits Prix 13.5/20
“Old barrels for young grapes. It’s original, it’s rich, and it’s perfect for sharing over a pan of roasted chestnuts.” (Gerbelle & Maurange Guide – Les Meilleurs Vins à Petits Prix). This cuvée comes exclusively from the villages and terroirs of the southern Beaujolais region known as 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!

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 range)
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 vintages as we had requested, but instead offered the 2009s, which have a more favorable reputation. In this vintage, several crus disappointed us, but the regional appellations were bursting with fruit.”
