Château De Chenas

Leroy

Chenas Gamay 2016

Rising star in Chenas! First vintage 🤣

But seriously, a nice rare bird found in Japan. Full of energy and crunch. Red, floral, mineral... Leroy's magic touch... The more rustic side of her touch... If you get what I mean. I really enjoyed the wine. Good to note that KP still thinks the 16' Metras he had a week before was better... Pure energy. While I can't comment more on this, I believe this is definitely the case... Come on, it's Metras we're talking about.

Tried to find some of this. The only available bottles are in Japan.

@Aaron Tan @David T I assume due to the relationship with Takashimaya.

Lieu dit les Perelles Chénas Gamay 2016

Little lighter body than I expected from a Chenas, but good acid and wonderful over all. Green strawberries, plum, cranberry. Nice spice. Wish I had a few more bottles! — 8 years ago

In case you're wondering what pairs with meatloaf...this is it. Purchase Cru Beauj and forget about it for 8 years. Hubert Lapierre is worth a look before he hangs up his secateurs for good #Chenas — 11 years ago

Gamay Noir 2016

Given about 30 minutes of air. You could almost swear there was some Schist here. Reminds me of certain wines coming of the Cote de Brouilly, with a certain Chenas like influence too. Two bottles to go. — 8 years ago

El Dorado Gamay Noir 2014

Doesn't have the clarity or lithe quality of a good Brouilly or Chenas, but more of the richer yet balanced style of a Morgon or Moulin-a-Vent. Really liked it a lot. Had wanted to try this wine for some time and was only slightly underwhelmed. — 10 years ago

Moulin-à-Vent Gamay

What a pair of beauties here; the Moulin all pretty, pure and loaded with flowers and the Chenas, ferrous, blue fruited, mineral laced and Cornas-esq. Fantastic wines - 2015 — 9 years ago
