The origin of the name Chénas could come from a place planted with oak trees (Cassanus in Gallic). According to other sources, Chénas may derive from the name of a Roman nobleman called Canus. A very real fact, the commune's territory has been planted with oaks since prehistoric times, and what does that matter beside the intense, fresh aromas of red fruits and spices that it brings forth! A structured, greedy, crisp wine...

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté (guide 2014) Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
"Christophe Coquard founded his own trading company in 2005. He offers a range of wines covering every appellation in Beaujolais, and more recently in neighboring Mâconnais. The labels are attractively decorated, and prices remain reasonable. The house didn't present its 2008s as we'd asked, but 2009s with a more flattering reputation. In this vintage, several crus disappointed us, but the regional appellations shone with fruit.
