Château de La Chaize Fleurie Lieu-Dit “La Chapelle des Bois” 2022 (95 JS) ("This beautiful Fleurie has stacks of black raspberry fruit, but is anything other than loud. It gracefully tiptoes over your palate. Barely medium-bodied, but such a wonderful elegance right through the very long, filigreed finish.")

Cru Beaujolais
Château de La Chaize Fleurie Lieu-dit "La Chapelle des Bois" is a single-vineyard cuvée from one hectare of 40-year-old vines in the southwest-facing "La Chapelle des Bois" parcel, with coarse sands and granite pebbles. Vinified plot-by-plot, the Gamay Noir is destemmed, macerated for 2-3 weeks in stainless steel, and aged in an oak vat. This ruby wine with purple highlights offers aromas of blackcurrant, red berries, pepper, and graphite. The palate balances power and acidity, with the terroir’s characteristic tenderness and roundness.
