| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nDelectable, fruity nose underscored with aromas of red fruits and notes of nutmeg spice. Generous and aromatic on the palate, with supple, mellow tannins. Notes of red fruit and spice offer depth and lively acidity. Expressive, generous and enjoyable right now, this is a perfect wine to enjoy with a slight chill.\r\nPair with all meats, chicken, wild mushrooms, and strong cheeses.\r\nRobert Parker 90 Points \r\nJames Suckling 90 Points\r\nAbout Ch\u00e2teau de la Chaize\r\nIn 1674, Fran\u00e7ois de La Chaize d\u2019Aix, steward of Lyon, purchased the land known as La Douze at the foot of Mont Brouilly, in southern Beaujolais. He hired France\u2019s most esteemed architect at the time Fran\u00e7ois Mansard to build the ch\u00e2teau and assigned Andr\u00e9 Le N\u00f4tre, famed-gardener to the king of France and head designer for the gardens of Versailles, to build the gardens around Ch\u00e2teau de La Chaize.\r\nCh\u00e2teau de La Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy\u2019s Beaujolais region. Cared for by the same family for nearly three and a half centuries, the estate has been passed on to new owners, the Gruy family, who are equally committed to managing the estate with the utmost care, while implementing an ambitious environmental plan. Among the many initiatives is the conversion of all vineyards to organic farming, the adoption of precision viticulture, reducing carbon their carbon footprint, and recycling every by-product from viti- and vinicultural activity, to achieve zero waste.\r\nThe estate covers nearly 300 ha of contiguous land, including 100 ha of vines in Brouilly. This ownership offers Ch\u00e2teau de La Chaize the autonomy to apply specific viticultural practices, which affect soil life, fauna, and flora diversity. Woodlands and meadows surround the estate, forming a natural barrier around the vines. These serve as \u201ctools\u201d for controlling the environment of the vineyards and contributes to a balanced, rich and thriving ecosystem. |
