Note: Guide Hachette 1* Star (A very successful wine)
The Brouilly appellation boasts the largest vineyard area in the Beaujolais region, with 1,200 hectares of Gamay grapes that produce one of the most renowned wines on granitic and alluvial sandy soils. The minerality of the blue and pink granites so characteristic of the appellation gives it roundness and softness on the palate, with subtle notes of red fruit on the nose. Superb!

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.”
