Domaine Chignard
The unassuming Cédric Chignard works with eight hectares of his family’s vines, having taken the reins from his father, Michel, in 2007. The Fleurie vines are anywhere from 35 years of age to over a century, while the one hectare in Juliénas, which comes from Cédric’s maternal side, dates back to 1946. The Moriers vineyard, one of the most renowned in Fleurie, faces Moulin-à-Vent and is based on pink granite soil, making the wines structured but elegant, while the Juliénas Beauvernay is on blue granite, which gives a deeper, more brooding and darker expression of Gamay. Chignard works with whole clusters and semi-carbonic maceration, fermenting in concrete and stainless steel tanks. Aging takes place in a combination of stainless steel and concrete vats and neutral oak foudres before a relatively early bottling, which Chignard favors in order to preserve energy in his wines.
