Description
Situated in the southern Beaujolais region, 25 kilometres north of Lyon, Château de Lachassagne dates back to the Middle Ages and was rebuilt in 1830, offering panoramic views over the Saône plain. It is unique in that it boasts 62 hectares of completely walled vineyards, including 25 hectares of vines, mainly planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay.
The variety of grape varieties and the history of the vineyards mean that the wines of the greater Burgundy region can be produced under the Bourgogne & Beaujolais appellation.
The reputation of the Château's wines goes back a long way, and numerous documents attest to this recognition. At the time, it was considered a Beaujolais cru. Le Clos boasts one of the finest clay-limestone terroirs in southern Beaujolais. Geologically very different from the granitic soils of the Beaujolais Crus, they are closer to those of the Côte de Beaune.
Véronique & Olivier BOSSE-PLATIÈRE want to make wines that respect the terroirs and the ecology of the vines. The estate has been Terra Vitis and High Environmental Value (HVE) certified since 2020. The grapes are harvested by hand, the wine is vinified in the traditional Burgundian way and some of the wine is matured in wood in our underground cellars.
We offer a unique signature tour to discover all the Château's winemaking activities.
