    In a few words ...

    Cru Chénas is the smallest of the Beaujolais crus in terms of surface area, making it a rare wine. The climate is continental. This single 9-hectare plot, on a steep slope, faces east at an altitude of between 310 and 380 meters. The granite, covered with quartz crystals, gives this wine the distinct personality for which it is renowned. Hand-harvested, sorted and partially de-stemmed. An initial phase of semi-carbonic fermentation lasting a few days is followed by a period of regular "Bourguignonne"-style punching down and pumping over, for a total of 18 to 20 days of fermentation. Approximately 30% of the harvest is aged in oak barrels for several months, to achieve roundness and elegance in the final blending.

    Tasting notes

    Appearance

    A robe like a deep ruby jewel.

    Aroma

    The name of this cuvée suggests a pronounced minerality, with aromas of lilac, peony and peach.

    Wine Floral | Fruity | Mineral

    Taste

    This well-balanced wine has a rather floral attack on the palate, before revealing mature tannins. A very complex, elegant wine. The finish is taut, almost saline.

    A fine discovery, as I didn't know this appellation, I took it as a complement to Beaujolais Nouveau to round out my order. A lovely deep red color, with mineral aromas and an assertive presence on the palate.

    Drink as an aperitif with friends on a classic charcuterie and cheese platter. Excellent value for money at its best.

    Very well-balanced wine with floral notes, I think it can be kept for another 3 to 5 years.
