The wine region of Chénas
Smallest of the ten Beaujolais crus (~250 ha), on acidic silico-clay granite slopes. Sole Gamay signature. Bold, structured signature reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, peony, violet, sweet spices and a mineral touch, firm tannins and deep palate — one of the most structured Beaujolais, ageing 5-10 years toward underbrush. Legend: favourite wine of Louis XIII.

Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
