Maison Coquard
Maison Coquard
Maison Coquard, rooted in Beaujolais since 1881, began when Joannes, the founder’s great-great-grandfather, built the family’s iconic golden stone house in Boitier, Theizé.
Dedicated exclusively to the Gamay grape, Maison Coquard crafts wines that reflect the unique terroir of Beaujolais, characterized by granite-rich soils that lend a distinct minerality to each vintage.
The winemaking process honors traditional methods passed down through generations, with meticulous hand-harvesting and gentle vinification techniques that preserve the grape’s vibrant fruit profile. This commitment to terroir-driven winemaking results in elegant, expressive wines that celebrate the heritage and natural beauty of Beaujolais.
Coquard 2020 Les 38 Villages Beaujolais-Villages
French Red
Bright and perfumed, with peony, lilac and fresh red cherry leading the way. Juicy berry fruit fills the palate, supported by lively acidity and a light, supple frame. Dry and energetic rather than candied, it finishes cleanly with gentle spice, a mineral lift and the easy charm of a cool-climate red.
Maison Coquard 2021 Viré-Clessé
French White
Fresh apple and citrus zest lead a dry, lively white, joined by acacia and orange blossom. Cut hay and fern add an herbal register, while a light pepper note brings savoury contrast. The palate remains taut and lively, moving between floral, orchard-fruit and green tones. Apple, citrus and blossom provide the fruit and floral detail, set against the contrasting hay, fern and pepper.
