When people talk about vineyards and ch\u00e2teaux, it is usually the Bordeaux region that springs to mind. Yet the Beaujolais region has nothing to envy its western neighbour, with some truly beautiful ch\u00e2teaux nestled amongst the vineyards. The Ch\u00e2teau de Corcelles, between Fleurie and Belleville<\/a>, is one such example. Built on the site of what was once a medieval fortress standing on the border between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire, this ch\u00e2teau dates back to the 15th century. It was, however, during the 16th and 17th centuries that it acquired its current appearance, strongly influenced by the Renaissance. You can explore the ch\u00e2teau* with an audio guide. The tour takes you through several rooms, including the chapel, the dungeons, the ch\u00e2teau cellars and the kitchen. Allow around 30 minutes for this tour, which concludes with a wine tasting. For Ch\u00e2teau de Corcelles is first and foremost a wine estate covering 87 hectares, 80 of which are dedicated to Gamay, the king of Beaujolais grape varieties, and 7% to Chardonnay. The Chardonnay naturally produces white Beaujolais wines, whilst the Gamay is used in the reds under the Fleurie, Morgon and Brouilly appellations, as well as in the ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n

Group tours<\/h2>\n\n

Corcelles Castle can arrange an exclusive tour during which you will have access to the drawing room and the castle\u2019s state apartments for a food and wine tasting. These tours are reserved for groups of 6 to 8 people and are available by appointment only. <\/p>\n\n

*On Saturdays, it is advisable to call ahead before visiting, as the ch\u00e2teau sometimes hosts weddings.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
