Ch\u00e9nas, the village that gave its name to the wine (unless it’s the other way round!), is the smallest of the ten Crus in terms of volume.
\nThis is probably why it is so unfairly overlooked, despite its exceptional value for money.
\nThe origin of its name is thought to be linked to the Gallic word “cassanus”, meaning a place planted with oak trees, or to a Roman patrician called Canus.
\nWhatever the case, it’s a fact that the commune’s territory has long been covered by an oak forest, and we know the importance that the Druids attached to this sacred tree from ancient times.
\nMoreover, didn’t the Gauls invent the cask, that ingenious container that not only houses wine for maturing and even vinification, but also allows it to be transported?
\nSome say that Ch\u00e9nas was Louis XIII’s favorite wine.
\nTo earn the royal trust in this way is no mean compliment.
\nIt’s a generous, fine wine, worthy of the finest tables. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
