Chénas wines are among the heaviest in the Beaujolais, and are known for their Floral">floral and earthyCharacter and their ability to age. Chénas is, along with Moulin-a-Vent, one of the most renowned crus of the Beaujolais, and the best examples can be kept for up to ten years.
The Chénas Vineyard is located on the slopes of Mont Remont, between the borders of Julienas and Moulin-a-Vent. The 290 hectares (700 ac) of Chénas vineyards are divided between the Rhône and Saône-et-Loire departments. The town of Chénas itself is located in the Moulin-a-Vent wine area, which is confusing because the boundaries of the appellation have changed over time.
