Virgile describes his wine making as ‘traditional vinification’

Lower yield limiting soils provide a large fruit concentration

all gathered together with acid and structure that will allow for ageing if that is your want

There is also a small part of this vineyard planted ungrafted on its own root-stock so in coming years there will a Franc de Pied version of Clos de la Hutte

a few handfuls of frozen Viognier skins and Marsanne bunches added to select fermenters

Château de La Chaize Beaujolais Blanc 2023 below-the-clouds Virgile describes his wine makingBrilliant and clear pale yellow in colour. Aromas of lemon and pear are combined with notes of white flowers. A nose that evokes the freshness and indulgence that these great clay limestone terroirs of southern Beaujolais can express. A bold and lively attack, which persists to reveal a complex aromatic profile of citrus and white fruits. The finish is broad and generous, reflecting the sunny vintage the region experienced that year.
