Château des Broyers, tradition, modernity and excellence in southern Burgundy
Château des Broyers
A 3-hectare estate in southern Burgundy, in La Chapelle-de-Guinchay (Saone-et-Loire), between Beaujolais and Burgundy. Taken over by the Coquard family in 2003, using sustainable (raisonnee) viticulture. Gamay and Chardonnay, from the Beaujolais crus (Saint-Amour, Moulin-à-Vent, Juliénas, Morgon) to the Maconnais whites (Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé) and the Jeu de Bulles sparkling wines.
Located in southern Burgundy, near Macon, Château des Broyers has cultivated a passion for wine for more than three centuries. On its 3 hectares of vines, the estate produces exceptional wines from prestigious terroirs: Saint-Amour, Moulin-à-Vent, Juliénas, Morgon, Beaujolais-Villages, Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé and sparkling wines. Restructured in 2003, it now combines historical heritage and sustainable viticulture, to reveal the finest expression of each appellation.
A philosophy: between respect for the terroir and innovation
When the Coquard family took over the vineyard in 2003, the priority was clear: to save a forgotten winemaking heritage and bring it back to life. After years of hard work (replanting, restoration and modernisation), the estate regained its splendour. Committed to sustainable viticulture, Château des Broyers favours practices respectful of the land and the vine. In parallel, innovation guides the creation of new cuvees, such as the Jeu de Bulles, a bold sparkling rosé born in 2008. To produce sincere, elegant and authentic wines, faithful to their origins: such is the motto of the owner, Pierre Coquard.

The cellar master and the house savoir-faire
With 30 years of experience, Jean-Michel Bataillard, the estate's cellar master, embodies the rigour and passion of the craft. From the vine to the bottle, he oversees every stage of the vinification to enhance the potential of each grape. Attached to his region, he shares the unique nuances of the wines of Beaujolais and Burgundy, between finesse, depth and balance. The estate grows two emblematic grapes: Chardonnay, for elegant, rich and luminous whites, and Gamay, for expressive, fruity reds full of finesse.
The cuvees of Château des Broyers
From the Beaujolais reds to the Maconnais whites, through the Jeu de Bulles sparkling wines and the barrel-aged cuvees: a complete, sincere and precise range. To discover direct from the estate.
The Beaujolais Reds
Red - Gamay (Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Beaujolais-Villages)
The heart of the estate: expressive, fruity Gamay reds full of finesse, from the finest Beaujolais crus. Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent and Beaujolais-Villages, hand-harvested and vinified in whole bunches, in the great Beaujolais tradition.
The Mâconnais Whites
White - Chardonnay (Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé)
Elegant, rich and luminous Chardonnay whites, from the prestigious terroirs of the Maconnais: Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé, the latter born of the limestone slopes of the Roche de Solutre. Immediate pressing and slow fermentation, in the Burgundian tradition.
The Jeu de Bulles
Sparkling - rosés (Xavier, Brigitte, Alexandre cuvees) and Blanc de Blanc
The estate's bold signature: a sparkling wine born of an alternative vinification launched in 2008. The Jeu de Bulles comes in rosés (Xavier, Brigitte and Alexandre cuvees) and in Blanc de Blanc, on a natural sparkle. Fresh, delicate and festive, for the aperitif as well as for celebrations.
Barrel ageing, the signature
Juliénas and Moulin-à-Vent aged in 215 L oak barrels
Some cuvees, such as Juliénas or Moulin-à-Vent, are aged in 215-litre oak barrels. This method gives roundness, structure and complexity, while offering a subtle, elegant oak: the signature of Château des Broyers on its great reds for cellaring.
Beaujolais and Burgundy, direct from the estate
Terroirs, harvests and bespoke vinification
Each wine draws its identity from the earth: limestone slopes of the Roche de Solutre (Pouilly-Fuissé), clay-limestone soils around Château des Broyers, sandy soils of Moulin-à-Vent. The harvests are manual for the red AOCs (meticulous sorting, tray selection, gentle pressing) and mechanical for some cuvees such as the Jeu de Bulles, with a final manual control. Three vinification methods (traditional Beaujolais, Burgundian and Jeu de Bulles) exalt the purity of the fruit and the personality of the terroir.
