"The 2019 Brouilly Reverdon performed particularly well this year, bursting from the glass with notes of peonies and rose petals mingled with wild berries and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and lively, it is melting and fragrant, with exquisitely fine tannins and a long, aromatic finish. This is as good a Brouilly as I can remember tasting at Château Thivin." (Wine Advocate 2020) Ideal for any occasion. A benchmark cuvée in its appellation!

Terroirs

Crumbly pink granite soil, 5.5 ha east-facing slope on the granite arena of the "Reverdon" locality, opposite Mont Brouilly. Two cadoles, including one dating from the 18th century, attest to the historic quality of this terroir. This sector of the appellation is particularly appreciated for its granite purity and poor soils, which produce racy wines with elegant fruit flavors.

Viticulture

Certified Terra Vitis. In accordance with organic farming criteria, with grassed and ploughed strips cutting through this storm-sensitive terroir, and little susceptibility to disease due to the very draining soil, justifying few treatments during the summer.

Harvest

Manual

Winemaking

Whole-cluster vinification in hillside cellars, making maximum use of gravity through successive stages, so that neither pumps nor conveyors are used for harvesting. Maceration for only 8 days to capture all the freshness of the fruit.

Breeding

7 months in cement vats

Expert opinion

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

Château Thivin is currently renovating its vineyards, with a focus on soil management. In organic conversion, trellising on the steepest plots, such as La Chapelle, is now the rule. The range is wide: fruity whites and reds, Côte de Brouilly (Sept Vignes, Griottes de Brulhié). The magnificent trio of Godefroy, Chapelle and Zaccharie particularly impressed and moved us this year. A priority for wine lovers and an address for great wines.

About the domain :

This historic estate continues to set the standard for classic Beaujolais cru worthy of its age, and the 2019 vintage is a great success here. As I wrote last year, the Geoffrays have banned herbicides and insecticides from their vineyards and are among the most conscientious farmers in the appellation, working towards organic certification. In the cellar, vinification is traditional, with semi-carbonic maceration and ageing generally in tuns - although some smaller cuvées see a little new wood. A staple of France's finest restaurants - and this writer's table - all readers unfamiliar with these wines are urged to seek them out. This year, the Brouilly Reverdon deserves a special mention, as it's a particularly fine wine.

A pleasant Brouilly with notes of plums, spices and berries. Rich and balanced, very good value for money. I have some in my cellar that I let age a little and it's still a delight even after 4-5 years.
