Discovering the wine region of Chénas

Chénas is a small appellation of red wines produced in an area of northern Beaujolais that is one of the ten crus of Beaujolais. It takes its name from the oak forests that once dotted the surrounding hillsides, an area that is now home to a sea of Gamay vines. 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. As a result, only certain vineyards located in the commune of Chénas can be used for the production of Chénas wine.

Some claim that it has its first origins in eastern France and others in Croatia. It would then have been introduced into France by the Romans, nearly 2,000 years ago. Published genetic analyses have revealed that it is related to several grape varieties, including Saint Côme, Raffiat de Moncade, Muscadelle, Jurançon Blanc, Grease, Colombard, and Mademoiselle Blanche.
