Vin de France – Domaine des Ardaillons – Perlamama – sparkling rosé

In 2003, two families who were friends planted a vineyard on the hill of Ardaillons and entrusted it to a winegrower. At the same time, still together, they looked after small plots in the heart of the village of Saint-Haon-le-Châtel. Yannick gained plenty of experience on wine estates in the Côte Roannaise. Working alongside winegrowers, he caught the bug for this craft, this passion. He then chose to study wine and completed his studies with a National Diploma in Oenology in 2012. He went on to gain experience making wine in the Côte du Rhône, in Beaujolais and beyond our borders (Chile, Uruguay). He then served as estate manager (technical and sales manager) of a Beaujolais domaine for 5 years (2015-2019).

In 2018, he took over the family plot of Les Ardaillons and founded Domaine des Ardaillons. In 2019, he was entrusted with several other plots and came back to settle for good just before the harvest. Setting up the estate was no small undertaking. Fortunately, Yannick can count on his brother Thibault, who is also an oenologist. Isabelle and Philippe, the siblings’ parents, are naturally unfailingly supportive, and Chloé, Yannick’s partner, oversees, among other things, the estate’s communication and visual identity. They also know what they owe to their friends and fellow winemakers, who are always there when they need them.
