Maison Coquard - Moulin à Vent 2007
Moulin-à-Vent is the oldest, most distinguished, and indeed the king of Beaujolais crus. Elegant and full-bodied, it offers floral and fruity aromas of violet and cherry. It is also one of the few Coquard wines to undergo 10 months of aging in large oak casks, which lend it structure and aromatic complexity. With a few years of aging, it will develop complex aromas of iris, spices, ripe fruit, and truffle...

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.”
