Estate information:
The 23-hectare vineyards are located in the heart of Auxerre and are planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Aligoté. However, there are also some somewhat atypical grape varieties, such as Sauvignon and César.

A true family estate with a story: grandfather Jacques, son Jean Pierre, grandson Pascal, and soon great-grandson Pierre — all have developed or will continue to develop the estate with their Burgundian experience and knowledge.

Meanwhile, through the whims of marriage, an additional farm was added to the estate: a small piece of Champagne land. A passion for the land and love for this profession brought the families together, and the name COQUARD was added to the name SORIN.
