Antonin Coquard, grandfather to our god-daughter, Alexia. He  was our first boss and wine teacher, and was known throughout the region as the “Poet of Beaujolais”.  His sons, twins Roger and Roland, look after the vines when we’re not there.

Looking down the valley to our vineyard

The vines and the winery

We have a small vineyard in Beaujolais, in the hamlet of Chatillatard, where we started out as grape-pickers some 30 years ago.

The wine is made in the Cave Co-operative des Vignerons du Doury just below us in the valley.

La cave des Vignerons du Doury

Discover one of the oldest co-operative wineries in Beaujolais! There are 172 co-operative members, and the co-operative produces wine from 461 hectares over 4 communes.

 

The benefit for us is that the wine is produced under strict quality and temperature controlled conditions, to bring out the fruit and freshness of the wine.

 

There’s a huge range of wine, and you’re welcomed in a spacious tasting hall.
