Chénas

A ruby red wine with garnet tints and floral aromas, Chénas is a full-flavored, full-bodied wine. It features spicy, woody hints and is often described as “a bouquet of flowers in a basket of velvet.”

On the appellation’s rugged northeast slopes, Gamay grapes are grown on just one square mile, producing the rarest of the Beaujolais Crus. This fine, sophisticated wine needs a few years of bottle age to achieve perfection. In just under one square mile, about100 growers produce an average 1.5 million bottles of wine a year.

The area was once filled with dense oak forests, which were gradually cut down. Under orders from Philippe V, vines replaced the trees on the slopes of Mont Rémont. During the Ancien Régime, the region’s aristocracy fought hard over the local lands in Chénas, due to the substantial revenues brought in by the vines. In the 18th century, Chénas was well known for exporting its highly valued wines to Paris, where it was the favorite wine of Louis XIII.

The appellation is situated on the east- and southeast-facing slopes of Mount Remont, and essentially forms an upside-down ‘U’ atop the larger (and equally well-regarded) commune of Moulin-à-Vent, immediately to the south. It shares with its more imposing neighbor a host of impactful terroir features, the most important of which is a preponderance of pink granite striated by deep veins of uplifted quartz.

These poor, coarse-grained soils produce fruit of exceptional concentration, which underlies much of the storied power of Chénas. Indeed, its wines are among the longest-lived and most powerful of all cru Beaujolais, marked in their youth by intense floral and red/black fruit aromas—particularly violets and raspberry—that evolve into a more complex, woodsier profile with age.

Texturally, wines from Chénas are typically marked by prominent yet velvety, rounded tannins, high acidity, and high complexity. And, just as in Moulin-à-Vent, the wines benefit great from medium-term cellarage.

Lieu-dit: Ne Chassignol, En Remont, Les Grands Gandelins, Aux Vercheres, En Nervat, Les Deschamps.
