Maison Coquard - Chiroubles 2007

Maison Coquard - Chiroubles 2007

The Chiroubles vineyard is the highest of the Beaujolais crus, at an average altitude of 400m, sitting on granitic sandy soils. This 2007 Chiroubles is silky, delicious, tender, and elegant. Once again, Maison Coquard has produced a beautiful fruit-forward wine, with the added bonus of typical peony notes. A generous and delicious wine to enjoy now!

Rated estate (2014 guide) Selected (An estate or producer that impressed us with one or more of its wines, but about which we cannot give an overall opinion on the style of the entire range)

About the estate:

Christophe Coquard founded his own wine merchant business in 2005. He offers a range of wines covering every Beaujolais appellation, and more recently those from the neighboring Mâconnais region. The labels are beautifully decorated, and the prices remain reasonable. The house did not present its 2008 wines as we had requested, but instead offered the more highly regarded 2009 vintage. In this vintage, several crus disappointed us, but the regional appellations were bursting with fruit."
