Château de La Chaize Cote de Brouilly Lieu-dit Brulhie 2019
Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FranceChâteau de La Chaize is a historic Beaujolais estate that dates to the late 16th century. Today it's in the hands of the Gruy family, who are pursuing "the conversion of all vineyards to organic farming, the adoption of precision viticulture, reducing carbon their carbon footprint, and recycling every by-product from their wine growing activity, to achieve zero waste." Brouilly is one of the smallest Crus within Beaujolais but the wines are anything but. There is so much elegance and style it overwhelms its intense wild cherry/black plum. The minerality sings and texture is Beaujolais of the first order. The Brûlhier vineyard is a 1.7-ha site that sits on the south-facing slope of Mont Brouilly, within the Côte-de-Brouilly. The topsoil is composed of a shallow bed of diorite, also called blue stone, a result of ancient volcanic activity. The soil depth is composed of sandy clay loam. Vines are planted between 400 – 425m.Tasted: 28 October 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $47.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
