The chai and the estate are in Blacé, in a 12th century priory. The latter was home to Grandmontine monks, who tended the vines surrounding the château up to 1769. Today, the estate spreads over 9 ha of vines, which give directly onto the chai. Our estate also includes vineyards in Villié-Morgon (1ha) and Saint Lager (3ha). The estate is organic certified for the vines in Saint Lager (AOC Brouilly). We use eco-friendly techniques for the rest of the estate, including shallow-ploughing between the vines.
Maison Coquard is a house with personality in Theizé that was built out of the Pierres Dorées (golden stone) that gives its name to the nearby typical villages, which was built in 1881.

Christophe Coquard, the son of a long line of vinegrower-winemakers and young artisan broker, will welcome you for a tasting of the entire Beaujolais range.
