Tasting notes

Made with 100% Gamay , it presents an elegant nose with aromas of cherry, raspberry, currant and violets, accompanied by delicate notes of white pepper, Mediterranean herbs and a marked mineral character.

On the palate, it is fresh, juicy, and very silky, with vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and an extraordinary sense of balance. The finish is long, elegant, and very persistent, leaving a pleasant sensation of fresh fruit and minerality.

The grapes come from vineyards cultivated using biodynamic agriculture , with manual harvesting and careful selection of the bunches.

Fermentation is carried out with native yeasts and whole clusters, respecting the identity of the Gamay grape and the Chénas terroir as much as possible. The wine is then aged in foudres and used barrels to preserve the purity of the fruit without letting the oak influence the wine.

Perfect to accompany:

  • White meats
  • Roasted birds
  • Artisan sausages
  • Mushrooms
  • Seasonal cuisine
  • Vegetarian dishes
  • Soft cheeses

It is also a magnificent wine to enjoy slightly chilled.

Why we like it

We love it because it perfectly represents the new generation of Beaujolais wines . It’s a precise, elegant, and vibrant wine, capable of surprising both those discovering the Gamay variety and the most discerning wine lovers. Domaine Thillardon has succeeded in crafting a profoundly mineral, fresh, and food-friendly wine, demonstrating why Chénas is one of France’s great hidden gems.
