2017 Chateau de la Chaize Lieu-dit 'La Chaize' Monopole Brouilly
Winemaker Notes: Light ruby with purple tones, with aromas of fresh strawberries and raspberries. The palate has silky red fruits balanced by lively acidity. Pair with all meats, chicken, wild mushrooms, and strong cheeses. Serve slightly chilled.
Château de La Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s 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.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
Wine Enthusiast - " This single-vineyard wine hsa a structure that shows in the ripe tannins. It comes from a southeast-facing slope close to the 17th century castle. Richly textured and with ripe black fruits, the wine will be ready to drink from late 2020."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Attractive aromas of berry fruits and forest floor preface the 2017 Brouilly Vieilles Vignes from the Chateau de la Chaize, a medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety wine with good depth and concentration, lively acids and fine structuring tannins."
