Rave Notes for Our Exceptional Crus :

• Château de La Chaize Brouilly Clos de La Chaize Monopole 2022: 98/100 - 6th best French wine

" One of the new giants of Beaujolais that nonetheless retains the lightness of touch and elegance of these wines. Enormous concentration of sour cherry, cassis and forest berry aromas is married to an expertly crafted tannin structure that is so detailed and so fascinating. Incredibly long, compact and energetic finish that leaves you breathless.”– James Suckling

• Château de La Chaize Brouilly Lieu-dit « La Chaize Monopole » 2022: 96/100

"Very minerally and smoky with plenty of forest-floor character. Stunning concentration and great elegance right through the extremely long and finely etched finish. Difficult to pull yourself away from this remarkable Brouilly. That this is only medium-bodied actually increases its appeal. Just a hint of blood oranges in the finish magnifies its freshness." – James Suckling

• Château de La Chaize Côte de Brouilly Lieu-dit « Chavannes » 2022: 95/100

"The complex and compelling nose of red fruit pulls you inexorably into the concentrated and beautifully proportioned medium-bodied palate of this exciting Cote de Brouilly. At the super-elegant finish, the very fine tannins gently build to a mineral climax." – James Suckling

• Château de La Chaize Fleurie « Chapelle des Bois » 2022: 95/100

"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." – James Suckling

These results are a reflection of the effort and passion of our team, as well as our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly winemaking practices. All our wines are made from organically grown grapes, a practice that is particularly close to our hearts.

An Exceptional Vintage

The year 2022 will remain etched in our memories as an exceptional vintage. After an ideal spring for the growth of the vines, the summer offered perfect conditions for the ripening of the raisins. The harvest began under the best auspices, allowing each plot to fully express its potential.

Our vintages are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and ageing potential. Each bottle tells the unique story of its terroir, offering an unrivalled tasting experience. Our state-of-the-art facilities and meticulous craftsmanship ensure that every step, from the vineyard to the cellar, is carried out with the utmost care.

The score of 98/100 is the highest accolade we have received to date for one of our wines for now, and we warmly thank Stuart Pigott for his time and praise, such as when he confirms that Château de La Chaize “One of the finest wine châteaux in France, and their 2022 vintage wines are excellent”! We look forward to sharing our passion with you.

We invite you to discover our great Beaujolais wines, celebrated by James Suckling. Each tasting is an invitation to explore the richness and diversity of our terroir.
