As serene as its granite terroir, as elegant as the oak forest it has replaced, Chénas is said to awaken the palate with spicy flavors. Louis XIII made it his favorite. Highly sought-after, the rarest of the Beaujolais crus is a generous wine for laying down. Tender on the palate, it is distinguished by its garnet-tinted ruby color and full body.
