For nearly 60 years, the Coudert family has been the heart and soul behind Clos de la Roilette, producing Beaujolais wines that stay true to tradition. Their wines are classically vinified using whole clusters and aged in large, old barrels without any new oak.

Situated in Fleurie, with additional plots in Brouilly and Moulin-à-Vent, this 14-hectare vineyard creates dense, full-bodied cuvées with great aging potential.

A true Beaujolais institution and awarded 1 star by the RVF Guide, Clos de la Roilette is cherished by wine lovers and top restaurants alike for the intensity and depth of its wines, which pay a magnificent tribute to the Gamay grape.
