More Info: Château de La Chaize is a historic, family-run Beaujolais estate that has been producing wine since 1676. Recognised among the Top 100 Wine & Spirits Brands in the World by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards, the estate now farms 150 hectares of organically managed vineyards across 23 plots in Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie and Morgon.
Driven by ethical and ecological values, Château de La Chaize has converted its entire estate to organic viticulture, with its first certified organic vintage released in 2022. Sustainability runs through every aspect of the property: they harness thermal and solar energy, favour electric or hydrogen-powered machinery, and work towards zero waste and carbon neutrality. On the estate, catch basins and a reed-planted natural water treatment area recycle water to irrigate over 7,000 trees and shrubs already planted, reinforcing a thriving and resilient vineyard ecosystem.
