Le Journal du Dimanche: An Expert Perspective on France’s Great Wines

In its selection of the week, Le Journal du Dimanche shines a spotlight on some of the finest names in French winemaking through a demanding selection of white, red, and Champagne cuvées, revealing “the French vineyard as a mosaic of tastes and flavors.”

Among them, Clos de la Chapelle des Bois, from the Fleurie appellation, stands out as a remarkable expression of the elegance, precision, and potential of Beaujolais’ great terroirs, alongside a cuvée from Maison Loron (Juliénas cru) and a Chénas from Georges Duboeuf.

Born from an exceptional terroir, Clos de la Chapelle des Bois captivates with its balance, refined tannins, and purity of fruit. The magazine describes it as:

"An expressive bouquet of macerated red berries, spices, smoky notes, and undergrowth. The palate is generous and full-bodied, combining richness and volume, supported by subtle, velvety tannins."

This wine perfectly embodies the estate’s philosophy, bringing together technical excellence and respect for nature to express the full richness and character of the Gamay grape.

This recognition further confirms the momentum behind Château de La Chaize’s vision: to reveal the full potential of Beaujolais’ great terroirs through wines that are precise, refined, and resolutely contemporary.
