Chénas En Rémont Pascal Aufranc
Description
Red
Spicy and Floral
The vineyards of Chénas are said to date back to 1316, when Philip the Long cleared away oak trees to plant vines. A few years later, Chénas could be found in all the cellars of King Louis XIII. Renowned as the ‘rarest’ of the Beaujolais crus, I am in turn proud to be able to cultivate these vines that are steeped in history. At the end of the road, ‘En Rémont’ is a preserved and intimate terroir.
