Description

Damien Coquelet has been working his family's vines since he was five. Now, in his mid-20s, Damien is drawing a lot of attention for his beautifully pure renditions of Beaujolais from the cru of Chiroubles. Chiroubles has the highest elevation of Beaujolais' 10 crus, and it is this elevation-coupled with granite-based soils-that gives the wines of Chiroubles their floral perfume and incisive cut.

The 2010 Damien Coquelet Beaujolais Chiroubles jumps from the glass with an open and floral nose followed by notes of wild raspberry, ripe cherry, and peppery incense. The palate shows the succulence and freshness that is the hallmark of the 2010 vintage.

Damien is the stepson of George Descombes, with whom he spent his childhood, learning to craft seductive, Pinot-like Beaujolais. Starting on his own in 2006, Damien has developed a following for his beautiful, old-vine Chiroubles with a plot of 80-year-old vines given to him by his parents. Like his stepfather, the vines of this domaine are farmed without chemical inputs.
