The Chiroubles vineyard is the "highest" of the Beaujolais crus, at an average altitude of 400m, sitting on granitic sand soils. This Chiroubles 2007 is at once silky, fruity, tender and elegant. Once again, a fine search for fruit, as Maison Coquard knows how to deliver, with the added bonus of typical peony notes. A generous, gourmet wine to enjoy now!

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.
