Founded by Paul-Henri Thillardon in 2008 with 2 hectares of vineyards, Domaine Thillardon is now managed by Paul-Henri together with his brothers. The young winery, located in the Chenas appellation, now extends over 12.5 hectares in various areas of Beaujolais and produces organic and natural wines that have quickly achieved great success among critics and the public.
Chenas Chassignol red is a single-plot cuvée made with Gamay grapes from one of the most beautiful sites of the estate, with over a hundred-year-old vines planted on a slope with a granite and quartz terroir. The work in the vineyard is done manually or with the help of livestock. After spontaneous vinification, with whole-bunch maceration, the wine rests in vats and barrels and is then bottled without filtration.
The wine reveals a fragrant and elegant aromatic profile with a broad bouquet of dried flowers and red fruits, supported by a spicy and mineral background. On the palate, it is intense, juicy, and mineral with velvety tannins and a harmonious acidic vein. The finish is long and fruity. It pairs well with quail and partridge, veal escalopes or ossobuco.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
