The young winemaker Paul-Henri Thillardon started out in 2008 with 500 square metres of Beaujolais-Villages which he inherited from his father as well as two and a half hecatres he had en fermage in Chénas. Today, his domain amounts to just under 12 hectacres, all of which is organically farmed and in the process of becoming biodynamic. Being a family affair, his brother Charles looks after the vines. This domain is surely one to keep an eye on.

Les Carrières is a superb wine from Chénas. It has aromas of red fruit and spices. On the palate the tannins are well integrated and rounded and there are pronounced crisp fruit flavours. As a whole it is a well balanced wine with light acidity. This wine is perfect with charcuteries or grilled sausages.
