Tasting Notes
This is a cracking little white from the south of Beaujolais, where the clay and limestone soils give the Chardonnay real freshness and a bit of generosity. It's bright and pale in the glass, with lemon and pear on the nose and a lovely lift of white flowers sitting over the top. There's plenty going on once you taste it too, bold and lively to start before it opens out into all that citrus and white orchard fruit, then finishing broad and generous with the extra warmth you'd expect off a sunny vintage. Loads of character for a white Beaujolais and a genuinely delicious drop. - Pete L
Château de La Chaize is one of Beaujolais’ most historic and beautiful estates, established in 1676 in the heart of Brouilly. With more than 250 hectares of contiguous land—nearly 100 of which are under vine—it is the largest single-estate property in the region. Today, the domaine is undergoing a major revival under the stewardship of Christophe Gruy, with a commitment to sustainable and organic farming, parcel-by-parcel vinification, and a focus on expressing the diversity of its terroirs across Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly and Fleurie.
The vineyards are planted primarily to old-vine Gamay on granitic and volcanic soils, with each parcel vinified separately to preserve site character. In the cellar, gentle extraction, native yeasts, and restrained use of oak highlight fruit purity and mineral definition. The resulting wines show both depth and freshness, offering a refined, modern expression of Beaujolais while honouring the château’s long history.
