The 2023 Château de La Chaize Fleurie is a refined Cru Beaujolais crafted from 100% Gamay, sourced from granite-rich soils that define the elegance and floral character of the Fleurie appellation. Produced from organically farmed vineyards with careful parcel-by-parcel vinification, it reflects both precision and purity in a modern, terroir-driven style.
The nose is highly aromatic and lifted, showing red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with signature floral notes of violet and peony, alongside subtle spice and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, supple texture and fine tannins. Juicy red fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and a delicate mineral backbone, leading to an elegant, long and finely structured finish with a characteristic "filigree" finesse.
The style is classic Fleurie - perfumed, graceful and precise - offering both immediate charm and the ability to evolve over the short to medium term.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Cru Beaujolais for customers who enjoy Pinot Noir or elegant, floral reds. This is not a heavy wine - it’s about finesse, perfume and balance. Best served slightly chilled. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with roast chicken, pork, charcuterie or light French dishes.
