Château de La Chaize Fleurie “Clos de La Chapelle des Bois”
Beaujolais
January 16, 2026 - A precision-driven expression of cru Beaujolais, built for perfume, finesse, and structural detail rather than simple fruit. Sourced from a single-vineyard monopole in Fleurie, it captures the appellation’s signature floral lift and silky texture while delivering the depth and concentration that can only be expected from a limited single-site bottling. The wine’s personality is defined by freshness first, with layered red and dark berry tones, subtle spice, and a refined mineral line that keeps the palate energized and long.
James Suckling - April 12, 2024 “An elegant and fragrant Fleurie that has the light-footed character and floral delicacy we associate with this appellation. The wine's structure is very discreet, completely beneath the surface on the…

Wine Spectator - August 04, 2022 "The 2020 Brouilly Clos de La Chaize is another wine that was matured in a newly acquired foudre, and notes of vanilla pod and spice mingle with its aromas of…
