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.
An emblematic terroir of Brouilly, this cadastral lieu-dit is located in the northern extension of the lieu-dit La Chaize. Facing southeast with steep slopes, it has a granite soil typical of the region and offers ideal ripening conditions for Gamay Noir.
Dark ruby with violet highlights, this wine opens with juicy notes of Burlat and Morello cherries, stone fruit, and a hint of ground pepper, layered over subtle graphite minerality and a gentle patina from aging. Powdery tannins support a lush mid-palate, where fruit and minerality merge seamlessly, leading to a long, elegant finish that balances richness with refinement.
