Wines : Chénas

shared between Chénas in the Rhône department and La Chapelle-de-Guinchay in the Saône-et-Loire department, Chénas has a ruby robe with garnet tints, floral aromas of peony and rose nuanced with spicy and woody notes as the wine ages.

A generous, well-built wine to cellar, it can be beautifully tender on the palate. On the rough slopes that were home to oak trees in yes-teryear, the vines of the appellation nourish the refined and thoroughbred rarest of the Beaujolais Crus.
