About PIZAY

The Château de Pizay is one of the oldest and most famous estates of the Beaujolais region. Since the Middle Ages the fine wines of the Château de Pizay have been appreciated by Beaujolais-lovers across the world.

 

The oldest records date to 1030, when the name "Pizay" was mentioned for the first time in the charters of the Abbey of Cluny. In 1070, a surrounding wall was erected by the Lords of Pizay. The keep was built in the 14th Century and the classic formal gardens were added in the 18th Century.

 

The vineyard, based in Morgon, covers 100 acres in the Appellations of Morgon, Regnie, Beaujolais Villages, and Beaujolais. The vineyard produces delicious Beaujolais Blanc, Beaujolais Rosé and Côteaux Bourguignons, all of which are bottled in the distinctive Pizay bottle. The terrain is granite, covered with a light sandy soil, ideal for the Gamay grape. The Morgon includes parcels on the slopes of the famous Côte de Py from which they produce several special cuvees.
