Terroir Notes: The smallest holdings of the estate, the vineyards are spread between the villages of Chénas and La Chapelle-de-Guinchay in the northern sector of the Beaujolais district. The Gamay is from vines on southeast-facing gentle slopes. Read more about the appellation Chénas.

Winemaking Notes: The grapes are manually harvested. Whole bunches ferment in cement vats for 8–10 days. After being stored briefly in vats, the Chénas is bottled in March. Sulfites are applied at harvest, after malolactic fermentation and at bottling: 15-18 mg/l free and 35 mg/l total.

Tasting Notes: A subtle but tenacious wine with a more discrete bouquet and gentle tannins, Granger’s Chénas is a wine that can be enjoyed in its youth but can give great pleasure over a two to four year period. Pair it with white meat.
