Château de La Chaize Highlighted by Le Figaro Magazine Château de La Chaize Highlighted by Le Figaro Magazine

The Le Figaro Magazine issue of the weekend of May 9–10, 2025, features an article on Château de La Chaize. The journalist emphasizes the ambition and substantial investment of the Gruy family, who took over the estate in 2017 to restore its full splendour and produce great Beaujolais wines.

The article highlights the quality of the wines: “The winemaking facilities underwent impressive modernization, the vineyards were converted to organic, and the range has expanded. There are approachable wines in a style that is much loved, with Gamay as their perfect expression, and then more serious cuvées, velvety and profound, proving wrong those who see this grape only as a source of instant, fleeting pleasure. You must taste the Brouilly La Chaize, with its captivating black fruit and woodland mushroom notes. The wines ‘pinot’ and recall some northern crus – above Mâcon – much less accessible in price. Beaujolais is refining its transformation and working toward refinement. When the accounts are tallied, Château de La Chaize will have contributed its part.”
