Terroir

Chénas is located very close to the famous Moulin-à-Vent. The upper part of the AOP Chénas is made up mainly of granite. Going down on the terraces towards the Saône valley, we move on silico-clayey soils, stony on the surface. The rarest of Beaujolais wines stands out as a generous wine for aging, smooth on the palate.
