Chateau de la Chaize Description

Château de La Chaize is a wine-producing estate that covers a surface area of over 450 hectares (1,112 acres), including 150 hectares (370.65 acres) of vineyards.

This unique configuration offers an oasis of greenery with an ecosystem that allows us to implement an approach to viticulture that promotes soil life, plant diversity of and sustains animal species. Each aspect contributes to the balance and wealth of this ecosystem. The forests and meadows that surround the estate form a natural barrier that protects the vines and allows us to manage the biotopes to best express the quintessence of the vineyards.

In our vision of ecology, which goes far beyond plot-based organic viticulture, we take into account soil life and the milieu’s biodiversity, as well as water management and carbon sequestration. We have therefore created small catch basins and a natural water treatment area, planted with reeds. The recycled water is used for watering the 7,000 trees and shrubs that have already been planted. Our objective is to have 50,000 planted over the estate’s 450 hectares (1,112 acres).

James Suckling: 95 Points

Tremendous spicy and balsamic complexity overlays the ripe (but not a jot overripe) blackberry fruit of this concentrated and imposing Brouilly. Such a beautiful silky texture it’s hard to tear yourself away! Keeps pumping out the fruit at the very long, intense finish. Should age extremely well.
