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 Fleurie 2019
The wine greets the nose with an enticing bouquet of fresh flowers, particularly violet and peony, characteristic of Fleurie wines. There are also subtle hints of red berries, such as ripe strawberries and raspberries, along with a touch of spice, perhaps reminiscent of white pepper or cinnamon.
On the palate, Coquard Fleurie is light-bodied and elegant, with soft, silky tannin that provide structure without overwhelming the senses. The dominant flavors mirror the aromas, with bright red fruit notes taking center stage. Juicy raspberry, cherry, and cranberry flavors dance across the palate, accompanied by floral undertones that add depth and complexity. There's a refreshing acidity that balances the fruitiness, lending the wine a lively and refreshing character. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving a subtle impression of red fruits and florals.

Coquard Chiroubles 2019
100% Gamay from the Chiroubles appellation in Beaujolais. This is one of the smallest appellations and also one of the most elevated, with some vineyards rising over 450m above sea level.
The 2019 presents lovely purple florals and crisp red fruit. Imagine fresh picked cherry meets a lavender bloom. These aromas are folded into a soft bed of silky fine tannins. Enjoy this wine young or let it develop up to 2029.
