Thillardon, Chenas 'Les Vibrations', 2022
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Thillardon brothers have become flag-bearers for the elegant, terroir-first style of Cru Beaujolais, and Les Vibrations is their most immediate, expressive bottle. Sourced from multiple organically farmed parcels in Chénas and vinified gently—semi-carbonic, native yeast, minimal sulfur—it’s a wine that feels effortless but never simple.
The 2022 shows all the hallmarks of the vintage: ripe red cherry and wild strawberry up front, but carried on a savory, herbal backbone with a touch of earth and spice. There’s a lift and crunch to the palate that makes it endlessly drinkable, but it doesn’t fade quickly—there’s mineral grip, gentle tannin, and a sense of movement that lives up to the name.
Serve it slightly chilled, with charcuterie, roast poultry, or a quiet evening. For fans of natural-leaning Beaujolais with polish, or Pinot lovers looking for something more playful but still grounded, Les Vibrations hits the mark.
