The great wines of the
BEAUJOLAIS

Château de La Chaize’s success is due to its respect for terroir and unique know-how that has been passed on for 350 years, along with a modern, innovative vision for the crafting of “haute-couture” wines!


The estate, which has adopted a single vineyard approach, is comprised of 23 cadastral named plots, divided among the Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie and Morgon appellations.


The grapes from each plot are vinified and aged separately to showcase each plot’s character and uniqueness.
