Domaine Thillardon, 2021
Chenas Vibrations 2021
Chenas Vibrations 2021
Vibrations is made from old vines and is a blend from different vineyards with granite soil. A lively wine with fresh acidity, cherries, raspberries, dried herbs, and a touch of white pepper. Full of energy and digestibility (a nod to Dutraive)

At just 22, Paul Thillardon made some fundamental life choices. First, he would become a winemaker. Second, he would make his wines in the most natural way possible.
This means choosing small scale, hard work, natural pesticides in the vineyard, carbonic maceration in the tank, and virtually no added sulfites. Pure nature, in other words.
From 2007, Paul began sweating and plowing with horses in his first vineyards. With help and inspiration from Jean Louis Dutraive, he sought expansion in the still affordable Chenas appellation. Good organically cultivated vineyards with vines averaging 40 years old were acquired.
The results soon followed. Beautiful wines full of fruit and round calcaire notes. Small Burgundies with intensely full fruit.
Together with his sister Aude and companion Charles, more new vineyards followed. These are all vinified separately, giving all the wines their own unique character, from the light-footed Vibrations to the meaty Chassignol vineyard. Exceptional wines that can easily compete in style and quality with the sulfur-free gang.
