The 2023 Château de La Chaize Brouilly is a flagship Cru Beaujolais crafted from 100% Gamay, sourced from granite-rich soils surrounding the historic estate. Representing the classic style of Brouilly, it combines vibrant fruit, freshness and subtle structure, with careful parcel-by-parcel vinification enhancing precision and terroir expression.
The nose is bright and expressive, showing aromas of cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with floral hints and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a juicy, supple texture and lively acidity. Flavours of fresh red berries are complemented by subtle earthy and peppery notes, leading to a smooth, balanced finish with soft tannins.
The style is fresh, elegant and highly drinkable, offering a classic Cru Beaujolais profile that is both approachable and versatile, with enough structure to evolve over the short term.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Brouilly for customers looking for a fresh, fruit-driven red with a touch of structure. Ideal for those who enjoy Pinot Noir or lighter Rhône reds but want something more vibrant and easy-drinking. Best served slightly chilled. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with roast chicken, pork, charcuterie or casual dining.
