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.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Lamb's lettuce
Characteristic of fleshy and consistent wines giving the impression of being chewed.
