Thillardon Vibrations Chénas 2021 is a stunning natural wine from Beaujolais, crafted during an unusually cool vintage. This specific bottle, which is 11.5% alcohol, was purchased following an exceptional lunch at a restaurant called Soif and enjoyed a few weeks later.
The wine is strikingly pale, showcasing an extreme infusion style. Initially, its nose is somewhat wild and reductive, but it gradually opens up to reveal elegant notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, and hints of sappy green. The wine is lively with a touch of dissolved carbon dioxide, offering a light and ethereal quality that is complemented by a delightful crunch. Overall, it delivers remarkable drinkability and poise, earning a rating of 94/100.
