Description
Fleurie is one of the most elegant crus of Beaujolais, often admired for its fragrant precision and Burgundian finesse. This delicate example comes from the historic Château de La Chaize estate, a family property dating back to 1676 and now recognised as a national historical monument in France. Following a single-vineyard approach, Gamay grapes from each plot are vinified and aged separately to preserve their individual character. Light on its feet and beautifully expressive, the wine shows floral berry fruit, refreshing acidity and soft, gentle tannins.
About the Estate
Awarded amongst the Top 100 Wine & Spirits Brands in the World by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, Chateau de La Chaize has been a family-run wine-producing estate for almost 350 years/since 1676 in Beaujolais. Today they cultivate 150 hectares of organic vineyards, comprised of 23 individual plots divided among the Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie and Morgon appellations. For ethical and ecological reasons, Château de La Chaize made the decision to convert its entire estate to organic viticulture, and in 2022, after the three year transition period, their first certified organic vintage was produced. Apart from managing their vineyards organically, they also rely on thermal and solar powered energy, aim to use machinery, vehicles and equipment that run on electricity or hydrogen and also prioritise zero waste and carbon neutrality. In addition, they have also created small catch basins and a natural water treatment area planted with reeds. The recycled water is used to water the 7,000 trees and shrubs that have already been planted on the estate.
