Le Creuset’s Chateau color works for every season
There’s a struggle for people who love Le Creuset cookware but don’t necessarily want a rainbow of enamel in their kitchen. The heritage brand is known for quite a lot of color, but what about those of us who are staunchly committed to neutrals? Well, our time has come. Le Creuset’s newest colorway, Chateau, is made for every kitchen in every season.
Chateau is a glossy blue-grey, inspired by limestone and slate. It’s cool-toned, which is refreshing in a sea of warm, creamy beige. It’s also versatile — in bright light, it will look pale and airy, while in a darker kitchen it’ll deepen. In other words, Chateau has layers.
This new color has already graced Le Creuset’s workhorses and serving pieces, so if you love it, you can go all in. Shop Dutch ovens, casseroles, dishes and more in this pretty new neutral on the list below.

Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven
Available in sizes from 2 to 13.75 quarts, the Signature Round Dutch Oven is made from enameled cast iron that distributes and retains heat evenly, requires no seasoning and is dishwasher safe. It’s the classic kitchen workhorse that made Le Creuset famous.

For whole chickens, large roasts or long loaves of bread, the Signature Oval Dutch Oven gives you extra length to work with and the same enameled cast iron construction you love. It’s available in sizes ranging from 2.75 to 15.5 quarts.
The Signature Braiser has a wide base that makes it the pan you reach for when you need to brown ingredients in a single layer before adding liquid. Its domed lid recirculates steam to keep items moist, and the enameled cast iron it’s made from holds heat well.
This compact, enameled cast iron saucepan comes in sizes from 1.75 to 2.25 quarts, perfect for making sauces, grains and smaller side dishes. It has a rounded base, so it’s easier to stir and reduce contents, with a helper handle for better grip and control.
The Mini Round Cocotte is a smaller stoneware dish that’s ideal for making cobblers, gratins and pot pies — or for food prep or storage. It has a nonporous glaze that resists scratches and stains and won’t absorb flavor, and it’s safe for the freezer and oven.
Le Creuset Heritage Rectangular Casserole
For casseroles that need to travel straight from the oven to the table, this stoneware baker comes with a fitted lid that helps retain heat and moisture. Its nonporous glaze is virtually nonstick and resists stains and flavor absorption. It’s also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup after dinner.
Le Creuset Heritage Square Dish
Deep side walls give this baking dish enough room for layered casseroles, desserts, roasted vegetables and more. It’s made from premium stoneware that distributes heat evenly, retains warmth for serving and has a scratch-resistant glazed interior that releases food easily without sticking.
Tea time? Say less. This attractive kettle is made of lightweight carbon steel that heats water quickly, with a fixed whistle that signals when the water reaches a rolling boil. The handle stays cool, and the flip-open spout makes safe pouring easy.
