Thibault Charnay grew up surrounded by vineyards with his family history of growers based in Terres Dorees in the southern part of the Beaujolais.  He returned home in 2012 after working in a different field for a long time. His wines have been officially certified organic since 2019, and he owns 12 hectares of vine. His brother-in-law Raphael, from Domaine de St Cyr, heavily encouraged him to do his own bottling. As a real mentor, Raphael assisted Thibault for his first vintages offering the use of his own winery to make this happen. With some stunning fruit from his own vineyard, Thilbault made his first Beaujolais in 2019 and it was a massive success; light, fresh and crunchy. The 2020 vintage has been made in exactly the same way, using cold carbonic fermentation for one week and then stored for six months in concrete tanks. A delightful and lighter style of Gamay.

Bright, light and crunchy with lots of rose, cherry and tea flavours. Vibrant wine, and propbably one his best vintage so far. Unfined, unfiltered and minimum sulphites added.
