Maison Coquard - Chiroubles 2007
The Chiroubles vineyard is the “highest” of the Beaujolais crus, at an average altitude of 400 meters, situated on granitic sandy soils. This 2007 Chiroubles is silky, luscious, smooth, and elegant all at once. Once again, it showcases the beautiful emphasis on fruit that Maison Coquard is known for, with the added bonus of typical peony notes. A generous and indulgent wine to enjoy right now!

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.”
