“Chteau de la Chaize in Beaujolais is a very strong candidate for the most beautiful wine Chteau in France.”
James Suckling

A dark ruby colour with lighter highlights. The nose is open, combining notes of black fruits and Burlat cherries. The aromatic ripeness is more pronounced yet remains well-balanced by the graphite character of the granite soil. The palate is slender with a generous, rounded midpalate. The wine shows good power without any imbalance. The overall mouthfeel is harmonious and approachable, with an ageing potential of 10-15 years.

Magnificent steep hillside behind the Castle, planted with Gamay.
The soil is made of porphyroid granite, which gives elegance and length to the wines produced from this terroir, at the heart of the Brouilly appellation.

Parcel-by-parcel vinification of 100% destemmed Gamay. Maceration took place over 15 days. Pumping over and racking took place, but no punching down. Maturated for 18 months in a large wooden cask. Certified Organic Agriculture.

“A really great Brouilly that emphasizes the mineral and forest-floor side of the appellation. Excellent concentration but still so elegant thanks to the refined tannins that drive the very long, intense, yet delicate finish that pulls you back for more. From organically grown grapes from the monopole vineyard site behind the chateau. Matured for 18 months in large wooden casks. Drink or hold.”
