Château de La Chaize wines

Since its creation in 1676, this magnificent wine-producing Château, designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and André Le Nôtre, and whose main door bears the sculpture of Bacchus, the god of wine, has remained a family residence. The descendants of its founder, Jean-François de La Chaize d’Aix, were its devoted caretakers for three hundred and fifty years. In 2017, they passed the estate on to another family, that of Christophe Gruy. Committed to honoring its remarkable vineyards with utmost respect for nature, he and Boris Gruy – his nephew and Estate Manager – adopted an ambitious ecological approach in the aim of creating and developing "haute-couture" wines!

Château de La Chaize is a wine-producing estate that covers a surface area of over 450 hectares (1,112 acres), including 150 hectares (370.65 acres) of vineyards.

This unique configuration offers an oasis of greenery with an ecosystem that allows us to implement an approach to viticulture that promotes soil life, plant diversity of and sustains animal species. Each aspect contributes to the balance and wealth of this ecosystem. The forests and meadows that surround the estate form a natural barrier that protects the vines and allows us to manage the biotopes to best express the quintessence of the vineyards.
