Chénas

Chénas is the smallest appellation in Beaujolais in terms of surface area. It is named after the ancient oak forests that used to cover the commune, felled by the Gallo-Romans and then by the local monks on behalf of Philip V of France, known as 'The Tall'.

The vines extend over rolling hills and valleys. The Gamay grapes show notes of small black fruits, peony and spices, emphasized by soft tannins.

Located between the municipalities of Chénas and La Chapelle-de-Guinchay, this Beaujolais appellation does not go unnoticed... More than 120 wine producers work hard every day to cultivate their Gamay vines to create rare, but excellent wines. Chénas covers the smallest area in the Beaujolais region, but has everything it takes to make great wine!
