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.

Château De La Chaize is a Beaujolais producer and a large estate dating back three and a half centuries. The Gruy family with Boris Gruy as winemaker hold the reigns and this Pouilly-Fuisée comes from old (50 years on average) vines. Explores the riches of Mâconnais chardonnay with utmost respect but also ambition, stirred, leesy and sharp as a tack. A platinum glowing and generous wine, not exactly lavish but swimming in the fullness of P-F riches. Really well made and quite serious for the appellation. Drink 2021-2023. Tasted October 2021.
