CHATEAU DE CHENAS

A Beaujolais co-operative with an impressive 80 producers and a collective 210 hectares. Only a fraction is under vine, with 90 hectares sited in various cru. Château de Chénas are the largest producer in the Cru Moulin-à-Vent, with a significant holding in Chénas as well.

This is a cooperative with very high standards; each vigneron checks their vines and reports. If the report is not to the required standard, they are simply not accepted. The winemaking then depends on the source and the cuvée.

Constructed in the 1700s, the impressive cellar holds up to 850 barrels. A serious range of excellent Beaujolais Cru is coming from this co-operative. Well priced for the quality.
