The Story
Thillardon Chénas Chassignol wines, including the magnum, are known for their vibrant, fresh, and floral character with a spicy, mineral undertone. They are made from Gamay grapes grown in the steep, granite-quartz soils of Chenas, Beaujolais. The winemaking process involves carbonic maceration with whole bunches, followed by aging in a combination of large wood and cement tanks. The wines are bottled without any filtration, clarification, or added SO2 (except for a tiny amount at bottling), according to Apewineboxes.
