Cava: the spark notes It’s not often that one hears about the positive outcomes of phylloxera, the bug that hitched a ride over from the USA in the late 1800s and proceeded to destroy around 2/3 of Europe’s vineyards –
Located in Leynes, at the crossroads between the Mâconnais and northern Beaujolais, Domaine Chardigny is a family estate whose vineyards have been in continuous ownership since the 18th century. In 2015, the three brothers - Pierre‑Maxime, Jean‑Baptiste and Victor‑Emmanuel Chardigny - officially established Domaine Chardigny, breathing new life into the family vines and marking the arrival of a new generation grounded in both tradition and technical precision.
