Alcohol: 15 % vol

Syrah and Grenache, fermented spontaneously and then aged in three kinds of vessel: concrete egg, wooden barrel and ceramic. Dark ruby, with blackberry, cherry and wild herbs on the nose. Spicy on the palate, with peppery tannins, a floral touch and a long finish.

A red for braises and the grill, for game or a hearty tray of roast vegetables. It also stands up to a strong cheese. If you are torn between Coquillade's two reds: Elyo is the entry range, while the Coquillade Rouge has more Grenache and is picked later.

The winery

Domaine de la Coquillade

On a hill above Gargas, looking out at Mont Ventoux, oenologist Frank John from Germany's Pfalz has been converting the estate to biodynamics since 2024. The work is done without herbicides and without tilling.

Still unsure?

What is the difference between Elyo and Coquillade?

They are the estate's two ranges from the Luberon, each in white, rosé and red. Elyo is the entry range, with wines at around CHF 29. The Coquillade wines cost CHF 39. Red and rosé in both ranges are made from Syrah and Grenache. The Elyo Blanc blends Marsanne, Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, while the Coquillade Blanc is almost pure Roussanne.
