Château de Belleverne Chénas Beaujolais Cru 2023

Country: France.

Region: Beaujolais. 

Grape: Gamay. 

Style: Drinkable, soft, fruity. 

ABV: 13%.

Info: The perfect lunch wine. Fresh, fruit forward but with good structure making it versatile for many food types. A good wine for when you’re getting stuck into an old fashioned long lunch. 

Chénas is the smallest of the Beaujolais cru villages and the wines from here are a bit harder to find than the more common Fleurie or Morgon. 

Farming: Managed following ‘High Environmental Value’ (HVE) principles; a certification Belleverne gained in 2018 to ‘a guarantee that the pressure applied to the environment by farming practices (on air, water, soil, climate, biodiversity and landscape) is kept to a minimum.’
