Note: Guide des Meilleurs Vins à Petits Prix 16/20
The vineyard for this wine covers 320 hectares of steep, well-exposed slopes on Mont Brouilly. The terroir is unique in Beaujolais for its uniformity, composed of blue granite and schist. The Gamay grape produces an elegant, full-bodied and well-balanced wine, developing notes of black fruit and licorice with a subtle hint of minerality. Well worth discovering!

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."
