Drink or Keep
Moulin-à-Vent is the oldest, noblest and King of the Beaujolais crus. Racy and generous, it offers floral and fruity scents of violet and cherry. It's also one of the only crus from the Coquard house to benefit from 10 months in foudre, which gives it structure and aromatic complexity. With a few years, it will develop complex aromas of iris, spices, ripe fruit, truffle...

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.
