Domaine Thillardon

A generation committed to serving the living

Domaine Thillardon, founded in 2008 by Paul-Henri Thillardon in Chénas, in the north of Beaujolais , embodies the energy of a new generation of committed winegrowers, in love with their terroir and resolutely turned towards a living viticulture. Joined by his brother Charles, the duo now cultivates a dozen hectares biodynamically, on the most beautiful granite and clay-siliceous terroirs of Chénas and Moulin-à-Vent.

A holistic and regenerative approach to the vine

Animals, agroforestry and biodiversity in action

Committed to a holistic approach to the vine, they have reintroduced animals into the estate's ecosystem—cows, pigs, horses, poultry—and practice agroforestry to enrich biodiversity and regenerate the soil.

Manual work and natural winemaking without additives

The vines are worked by horse, the grapes are harvested by hand, then vatted in whole bunches by gravity, without any oenological input . The vinifications are gentle, without pumping over or punching down, followed by patient aging in concrete vats or old barrels, without filtration or sulfur added at bottling.

Vibrant, deep and emblematic Gamay vintages

The result: wines of great purity, vibrant, with silky textures and nuanced expressions of Gamay, as evidenced by their emblematic vintages Chénas “Chassignol”, Les Carrières or Moulin-à-Vent “Les Alizés”. Domaine Thillardon is today an essential reference for lovers of precise, sincere natural wines deeply rooted in their terroir.
