Château de La Chaize Côte de Brouilly Lieu-Dit “Chavannes”

Located in Odenas (Rhône), the Domaine de la Chaize extends over 250 hectares, including 99 hectares of vines, which makes it the largest property in one piece in Beaujolais cru. Today, the Château is the emblem of the most prestigious Beaujolais Cru estate.

This single-parcel cuvée comes from vines nestled on the western slope of Mont Brouilly. This Côte-de-Brouilly cru stands out for the uniqueness of its soil: the parcel, with slopes ranging from moderate to steep, features a highly porous surface soil with a high sand content, encouraging deep root penetration. It is an exceptionally high-quality terroir, dominated by pink sands derived from granite.
