Vintage Report

The 2022 vintage in Beaujolais received a score of 91 points and is classified as excellent. The wines from this year are characterized as still youthful or slowly maturing.

Chateau de Corcelles is a bit of an odd duck. It's a true Beaujolais winery, operating in some of the most prestigious villages in the Beaujolais region. This is the result of centuries of craftsmanship. Literally centuries, as Chateau de Corcelles has stood firmly on its foundations for over four hundred years. As a result, it has clearly left its mark on the region and has also ensured that Beaujolais wines enjoy a certain popularity today. However, with this Chateau de Corcelles Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay, they are embarking on a new, highly successful, and innovative path.

A Chardonnay wine from Beaujolais

The only grape variety approved in the Premier Cru villages is Gamay. However, in Bas Beaujolais, another part of this wine region, "general" wines are produced, including Beaujolais Nouveau, which is released annually in November. However, several grape varieties are permitted here, and this prompted Château de Corcelles to plant Chardonnay. A masterstroke, because with a Chardonnay from Beaujolais, you get a truly unique spectacle. It proves once again that Château de Corcelles is a formidable innovator. They respect centuries-old traditions but don't shy away from modern viticulture. As a result, the wines from this estate, including Château de Corcelles Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay, have always remained relevant to wine lovers.

Impressions of Chateau de Corcelles Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay

Only when the grapes are deemed full and ripe can the harvest take place. The winemaker takes his time with fermentation, allowing the robust aromas of the terroir to fully integrate into the flavor. In addition, a small portion of the beautiful juice is aged in oak to emphasize the depth of the wine. The result is truly impressive. Your senses will be in overdrive. Chateau de Corcelles Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay is a wine that constantly surprises you with different aromas. You first smell white flowers, which are then overshadowed by fresh lychee and roasted hazelnuts. But swirl Chateau de Corcelles Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay around your glass, and the robust stone fruit, harmonizing with honey and vanilla, becomes part of this taste sensation.
