A blend of select vineyard sites owned by Chaize, situated around the historic Château, this flagship cuvée stands as the epitome of the estate’s excellence. Each parcel undergoes individual vinification, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and preserving its unique qualities. Representing the essence of the Brouilly Cru du Beaujolais, renowned for its deep granite soil ideal for Gamay grapes, this wine captivates with a harmonious blend of complexity and fruity aromas, embodying the essence of its terroir with unparalleled finesse.

Winemaking

Each plot is vinified separately. Fermentation in stainless steel, accompanied by semi-carbonic maceration. 10% whole cluster fermentation.

Vintage

A fiercely hot and dry summer in 2022 led to reduced yields, but the concentrated fruit from the arid conditions resulted in fantastically rich and flavorful wines.
