Château de Blaceret-Roy
Company
My name is Thierry Canard. Like
11 generations of my family before
me, I craft Beaujolais wines and Crus
on my estate in the village of Saint
Etienne des Oullieres at Château de
Blaceret-Roy.
You may have heard of my uncle,
Gérard, who was standard bearer for
the whole Beaujolais region and its
wines for 37 years.
Over the years, the estate I steward
today for the coming generations
- including my son - has grown and
I have extended my wine sales activity
so, while we remain small-scale
and family-centred, we are able to
bring you a wide range of wines that
we can personalise to suit your range
and clientele.
On our estate, we have also formed
a fraternity “Les Canardins”; celebration
of Beaujolais is all part of our family’s
history.
Products
Beaujolais Blanc: The “White
Pearl” of our winemaking region;
great finesse with rich blossom aromas.
The power of a Chardonnay for
your apéritifs and fish dishes.
* wine also available in a Bag-in-Box
Beaujolais Rosé: Seductive youth
from this fresh, pale pink wine that
enhances the sun’s rays.
* wine also available in a Bag-in-Box
I Love You: This sparking rosé wine
is made using an age-old method
where, just after the harvest, the indigenous
yeasts are captured before
fermentation is finished, thus retaining
all the luscious flavours of fresh fruit
and keeping the alcohol content
down at around 8°. Bursting with freshly
harvested grape and apple aromas,
the flavours also include beautifully
tart strawberry and cider. Great
as an aperitif, with a sweet or at any
time as a refreshing celebration of
life.
Brut de Blaceret-Roy Blanc (Traditional
Method sparkling white wine): A
gentle pop for the third millennium,
grapes made bubbles. Excellent either
as an apéritif and or to round a
meal off.
Cuvée des Canardins: This well-built
wine has a balanced palate; it is matured
in oak barrels for the Confrérie
des Canardins du Beaujolais, which is
sponsored by master chef, Paul Bocuse.
The long finish is rounded and
spicy making it a great match for
game and cheese.
Fleurie Grille Midi Vieilles Vignes:
Beneath this wine’s shiny robe is a
delightful alliance of exquisite fruit
including peach and blackcurrant.
This really enjoyable, heady Cru has
a silky mouthfeel with dominant floral,
amber and sweet spice flavours.
Brouilly Vieilles Vignes: This renowned
and much-enjoyed Cru has a
forthright attack on the palate. It is
well-balanced with rounded blackberry
and blackcurrant aromas and
flavours. This very rich wine goes well
with dishes in sauce and matured
cheeses (cited in the Revue des Vins
de France).
Chiroubles pentes de Fontenelle: This
harmonious Cru is less well-known
than its neighbour, Fleurie. The robe
is sparkling red with aromas of violet
and iris. This is a supple charming and
truly seductive delicacy that is both
elegant and thoroughbred.
