Les Frères Chardigny

Located in the heart of Saint-Vérand, Beaujolais, Les Frères Chardigny is a small, independent natural wine estate run by brothers Jean-Christophe and François Chardigny. With just 5 hectares under vine, they cultivate Gamay and Chardonnay on a patchwork of granitic and clay-limestone soils, using organic farming methods and a low-intervention philosophy.

The brothers bottle their wines under the Vin de France designation, embracing creative freedom in both vineyard and cellar. All wines are made with native yeasts, without added sulfites, filtration, or fining, allowing for pure and vibrant expressions of their terroir.

Their hands-on approach includes low yields, manual harvesting, and gentle vinification—capturing the essence of Beaujolais with authenticity and finesse.

Signature cuvées include:

• Poussière d’Étoiles – Gamay, vibrant, juicy, and full of energy

• Magma – Gamay, structured with savory mineral depth

• Les Petits Grains – Chardonnay, fresh and delicately floral

• Granit – Gamay, complex with dark fruit, spice, and tension

With a limited production, Les Frères Chardigny wines are cherished by natural wine lovers across France and in select international markets.
