Notes: The Guide to the Best Affordable Wines (RVF) 15.5/20, Lyon Wine Competition Grand Gold, Hachette Guide 1* (Very successful wine),
“With this wine, we are immersed in the luscious, sensual flesh of the bigarreau cherry, where the full-bodied finish reflects the granite-based soil of the vineyard. It’s straightforward and very typical of Juliénas.” (The Guide to the Best Affordable Wines 2013 – RVF Red Guide). A Juliénas that’s very enjoyable when drunk young, with its aromas of black fruit and flowers, and which will refine further with one to two years of aging. Perfect with coq au vin!

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.”
