About the Winery
Domaine du Château de La Chaize

Château de La Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Cared for by the same family for nearly three and a half centuries, the estate has been passed on to new owners, the Gruy family, who are equally committed to managing the estate with the utmost care, while implementing an ambitious environmental plan. Among the many initiatives is the conversion of all vineyards to organic farming, the adoption of precision viticulture, reducing carbon their carbon footprint, and recycling every by-product from viti- and vinicultural activity, to achieve zero waste.
Founded in 1670 by the seneschal of Lyon François de la Chaize d’Aix, the main Château de la Chaize building and gardens were completed by Jules-Hardouin Mansart and André le Nôtre, respectively architect and gardener of the Château de Versailles. Château de la Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Boasting over 250 acres of vineyards, it is also one of the largest. It is today considered one of the most innovative estates in Burgundy. Among its forward- thinking practices is the adoption of eco-friendly farming techniques, commonly referred to as Agriculture Raisonnée. Chemical treatments have been reduced to a strict minimum, for example, and the growing of grass between rows has been re-introduced to enrich the soil and reduce erosion.

This Beaujolais estate also has vines in Pouilly-Fuissé to the north. The wine has good minerality as well as ripe apple and spice. Lightly wood aged, it is a rich, structured and fruity. Drink the wine from late 2020. - Roger Voss

100% Chardonnay. After a Platinum win for Elgin Chardonnay last year, we all suspected it was only a matter of time before this propitious combination of variety and region would make its way into our Top Fifty. So it proved this year, as this high-sited (200m-450m), mountain-fringed zone in the Cape's deep, ocean-cooled south brought us one of the most memorable of this year's Chardonnay cohort. It's pale dawn-yellow in colour, with taut yet close-knit aromas that suggest plant sap, peeled vegetable and spring leaf as much as green fruits. The 11 months' oak provide an aromatic backdrop without obscuring vineyard character. On the palate, the wine is lean, shapely, intense: a cool waterfall of Chardonnay fruits which sweep seamlessly over the tongue, leaving it looking for more. Drinkability, refreshment and a unique regional style come together memorably here. Best in Show.

Complexity and lots of stamina and verve here! Smoky lemons, nougat, ginger and flint provide a very flavourful palate. Intense and substantial on the palate, but still elegant and nuanced, with a hint of phenolics at the end. Long, focused finish. Think fine Meursault. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Selección de Parcelas Los Primos Chardonnay was cropped from a warm and dry vintage, but in Traiguén in the south, it is not as warm as in the central valley of Chile. The grapes were harvested the first half of April; they harvested earlier and finished with more alcohol, still a moderate 13.5%, from a year of more body and rounder wines but without heat. The wine kept a pH of 3.16 and 6.9 grams of acidity. This also makes the wine a little more Burgundian, more Meursault than Chablis or Puligny, tasty, spicy with a tad more oak (all the new barrels for white are 400-liter ones, 38% of them new in 2020), because in warmer years there is a little more extraction from the oak. This is the warmest vintage so far, but the wine is still bone dry and there is no ripeness; but there's more weight and width. The wines have to show the differences of the climate conditions each year... 4,069 bottles were filled in July 2021.

The 2022 Chablis Bougros Grand Cru is aged for 16 months in stainless steel and 500 litre barrels. It is pretty neutral on the nose and doesn't really engage the senses as I would have liked. The palate is balanced with a fine bead of acidity. It's taut and fresh, with a touch of sour lemon towards the finish. It's not bad, although its more Premier Cru than Grand Cru, to be honest. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis.

Pure mineral notes but a lot of depth here, with flinty oyster shells, crushed rock, lemon zest and a hint of cream. Broad but pure on the palate, driven by a bright streak of saline acidity. Really gastronomic and serious, with a full body but mineral water-like purity at the end. Another sensational Los Primos. According to winemaker Francisco Baettig, 2022 is moderately cool in Traiguén. A small production due to the frost. Picked around April 10. Thirteen months’ aging in 300- to 400-liter barrels, of which 37% is new.

The 2022 Chardonnay Viñedo Los Primos originates from Traiguén in the Araucanía region. Aged for 13 months in French oak barrels (37% new), it displays a green colour with a yellowish sheen. Aromas of creamed corn and cedar emerge on the nose, accompanied by hazelnut, oak and ginger nuances. Dry, rich and fairly rich on the palate it develops a fatty and oily mouthfeel that adds depth and volume without heaviness. The 13.5% alcohol content contributes to an overwhelming mouthfeel but its balanced by taut acidity , resulting in a long-lasting flow. Compared to other vintages, the 2022 offers a more finely tuned balance.

Complex but still fresh with some toast and honey, as well as ripe lemon and melon fruit with some orange peel character and a touch of hazelnut. Lovely depth and intensity here with nice bright acidity on the finish. This is evolving in nice ways.
