Chateau de Pizay 2023 Beaujolais Blanc

Château de Pizay is one of the oldest and most storied estates in Beaujolais, with roots reaching back to the 11th century and a château whose core was completed in 1030. Over the centuries it has evolved from a medieval stronghold into one of the region’s most important winegrowing properties, farming roughly 100 hectares across several crus. The estate is known for meticulous vineyard work, a strong commitment to sustainable farming, and a house style that emphasizes purity, precision, and the expressive character of its granite‑driven terroirs. Its long history and scale make it a rare combination in Beaujolais: both a heritage producer and a modern, quality‑focused estate.

The 2023 Beaujolais Blanc shows the bright, clean, mineral‑first profile that has made Pizay one of the category’s benchmarks. Aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and fresh pear lead into a palate that balances crisp orchard fruit with a subtle creamy texture from well‑judged lees contact. The granite soils come through in a lightly saline, stony finish that keeps the wine lifted and refreshing. It’s a vibrant, versatile Chardonnay—unoaked, expressive, and built for both casual drinking and pairing with lighter dishes.
