- TASTING NOTE: "This can be one of the best Chateau Thivin wines, unforced and pretty really. Fine tannin, gravel and dried cherry, detail of earth and dried herbs and a sense of minerality. Spot on. It’s succulent and long, bright and fresh yet also savoury. It’s such a delicious wine. Juicy, earthy, red fruits, light ferrous notes, orange citrus characters. Fine grip through the wine but with fruitiness. Far out. The whole thing drinks with such charm. Elegant and beautiful drinking, with regional character on show. I’m all over it. Such an outstanding drink. Crikey." 95 Points - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
- ABOUT THE WINE: A blend of seven plots from the volcanic soils of the slopes of Mount Brouilly; Clos Bertrand, La Chapelle, Les Griottes, Godefroy, L’Héronde, Henri, and Les Fournelles. After hand picking, plots are vinified separately. Vinification is very traditional, with partial whole bunch fermentation and ageing in old large format oak for seven months.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The site now occupied by Chateau Thivin was originally planted by the Romans, and is one of the oldest cellars in Beaujolais. The Geoffray family have been it's owners since 1877 and today the 5th and 6th generations run this small family business. Respect for the land and traditions of the region are of the utmost importance of the Geoffrays. Vineyard practices are organic; natural grassing, planting flower strips, eco-grazing by sheep, light tilling beneath the vines, together with the regular addition of compost and natural products to stimulate the vine’s defences. Work in the cellar is very old world with classic Beaujolais fermentation with whole clusters and mostly old large format oak used for ageing.
