“The Thillardon brothers continue to go from strength to strength, and they are fast emerging as one of the most exciting producers in contemporary Beaujolais. The 2019 vintage has turned out beautifully at this address and is strangely reminiscent of the domaine’s 2016s—even though the two growing seasons have very little in common. Ethereal, elegantly tightly wound and low in alcohol, they will blossom with a year in the cellar. From the last couple of vintages, this has been one of the most consistently successful addresses for low/no sulfite Beaujolais, and the wines come recommended.”

“The 2021 Chénas Vibrations is a blend of all the terroirs on granite and alluvial soils. It has a floral bouquet with red berry fruit, briary, wild hedgerow, and sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with a fresh entry and crunchy red fruit; there’s fine grip with a little more weight and tension on the finish than the Les Carrieres. This has real energy and persistence. Drinking window: 2023-2030. 92 points”
