Château de La Chaize
Fleurie Lieu-Dit "La Chapelle des Bois" 2023
Beaujolais
Château de La Chaize is a crown jewel of Beaujolais and classified as a French national heritage site due to its magnificent garden designed by André Le Nôtre, renowned landscape architect to King Louis XIV of France. All wines are made exclusively from estate vineyards and are proudly certified organic, starting with the 2022 Brouilly wines and Fleurie from 2023.
Winemaking
70% destemmed, fermentation in stainless steel tank with indigenous yeasts, pumping-over is employed without punchdowns to preserve freshness.
Vintage
A fiercely hot and dry summer in 2023 led to reduced yields, but the concentrated fruit from the arid conditions resulted in fantastically rich and flavorful wines.
