The success of Château de La Chaize is based on respect for terroirs and the unique know-how acquired over 350 years. Using a parcel-by-parcel approach, the estate has 23 cadastral parcels, spread across the Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie and Morgon appellations, and each parcel is vinified and aged separately to reveal its character and uniqueness.

"Les Amants Magnifiques" is a blended cuvée made from a selection of our cadastral locations located in the Côte de Brouilly appellation, on vines backing onto Mont Brouilly.
Vinification by plot (100% Gamay Noir) / 100% destemmed / Maceration: 20 days of maceration in stainless steel vats (70%) and concrete vats (30%). Pumping over and rack and return. No punching down. Sulfiting after MLF and at bottling / Aging: 14 months in tuns.
A beautiful, intense ruby color. The nose is open, and the fruit is expressive. While not stewed, the fruit expresses a certain sweetness. Burlat cherry, spice, violet, and pepper characterize the aromatic ensemble of this cuvée. The palate is full and round, with well-coated tannins. This wine is a unifying wine. Pairs well with beef tartare and duck confit salad.
A serious wine for this appellation that is often regarded as being all about aroma and fruit freshness. Good concentration is married to restrained velvety tannins that are already beautifully integrated. Plenty of violet, black-cherry and raspberry aromas. A quite bold yet polished finish. From organically grown grapes. Matured for 14 months in large oak vats. Drink or hold.
