Château - Thivin Côte-de-Brouilly Le Clos 2022

"Nice ripe fruit with great freshness (Jancis Robinson) "

"Côte de Brouilly Le Clos 2022 comes from more clayey soils at the bottom of the hillside in question. The nose, with its beautiful minerality and great tension, offers aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant leaf. The palate is medium-bodied, with sapid notes of black fruit, a touch of licorice on the mid-palate, and blood orange and spice box on the finish. This wine will need two or three years in bottle, but the wait will be worth it." (Vinous 2024)

Château Thivin - Beaujolais blanc Clos de Rochebonne 2023

"A Gem !"

From the "pierres dorées" area in southern Beaujolais, this cuvée draws all its freshness and aromatic richness from its high-quality clay-limestone soil. "Nose of lemon, apple and peach. Lively acidity balances the buttery notes of oak. This wine is quite rich and medium-bodied" (Jancis Robinson 2024).

Château Thivin - Brouilly Reverdon 2023

"A benchmark vintage in its appellation".

Brouilly Reverdon will surprise you with its freshness and aromas of small red fruits (strawberry, raspberry). The palate is mellow, with notes of peony, rose and wild berries. The tannins are fine and silky, revealing only the purity of the fruit. An ideal wine for any occasion!

Château Thivin - Côte-de-Brouilly Les Sept Vignes 2023

"A precise blend of 7 parcels

This Côte-de-Brouilly is a well-chosen blend of 7 Mont Brouilly parcels, each bringing its own character and complexity to the cuvée. Aromas of plums, red fruits and warm spices entice the palate. The finish is long and enveloping. Another fine cuvée to make your own!

Château Thivin - Cuvée Zaccharie 2022

"A Gamay made for laying down".

A tribute to Zaccharie Geoffray, this wine is made from a selection of the best terroirs on plots of old vines. The wine's ambition is clearly evident, reflecting our know-how and precise ageing. A hint of toast and then fruit emerge on the nose. Depth and breed punctuate the palate, supported by a touch of acidity, elegant tannins and vibrant sapidity. A wine that should be kept for three to four years, and that will reveal itself over 10 years or more. A very fine bottle!

Château Thivin - Cuvée La Chapelle 2018

4.3/5 (6 reviews)

"From a relatively steep, south-facing slope, relatively high in altitude, Thivin's 2018 Côte de Brouilly La Chapelle is a big hit this year. In the glass, aromas of cherries, raspberries, spices and dried roses emerge. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with satiny, structuring tannins, excellent concentration and bright, succulent acidity." (Wine Advocate 2019 - William Kelley) A very pretty vintage not to be missed!

Château Thivin - Cuvée Godefroy 2018

3.9/5 (8 reviews)

A plot-based cuvée from Château Thivin, Godefroy is a locality on the Côte de Brouilly, planted with old Gamay vines. It's a powerful, tannic wine with great depth. We find the very fruity, fine and delicate aromas typical of the appellation, right through to the beautifully persistent finish. A racy, authentic expression of the appellation.

Château Thivin - Les Griottes de Brulhié 2018

4.2/5 (9 reviews)

"Côte de Brouilly 2018 Les Griottes de Brulhié comes from a sunny, steeply sloping, southeast-facing site. Brimming with aromas of cherries, blackcurrants, smoked meats, spices and wild berries, it's medium to full-bodied, enveloping and succulent, with an openness that reveals its potential despite some still-young tannins." (Wine Advocate 2019 - William Kelley) An impressive vintage!

Château Thivin - Clos Bertrand 2018

3.7/5 (10 reviews)

"Aged in foudre and sourced from Château Thivin's historic, southwest-facing vineyards, the 2018 Clos Bertrand reveals aromas of plums, cherries and spices. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, fleshy and thick, quite muscular. and serious in this often open vintage, with impressive depth and concentration, as well as good tension." (Wine Advocate 2019 - William Kelley) Simply prodigious!

Château Thivin - Cuvée Zaccharie 2016 (Magnum)

4/5 (2 reviews)

"The Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Zaccharie unfurls in the glass with aromas of crushed blackcurrant, plum and spice, coated in quite marked new wood which, for me, is almost distracting. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, spicy and firmer in structure, clearly marked by the wood tannins picked up during ageing. It needs 2 or 3 years in bottle to show its best." (Wine Advocate -Robert Parker 2018) A very fine bottle!

Château Thivin - Marguerite 2014

4/5 (2 reviews)

Château Thivin's Cuvée Marguerite is a beautiful combination of white flower and citrus aromas, fresh and rich. Maturing in both barrels on lees and stainless steel tanks gives structure and volume to this 100% Chardonnay. A gourmet white!

Château Thivin - Cuvée La Chapelle 2013

4/5 (5 reviews)

"The 2013 Côte de Brouilly Cuvée La Chapelle comes from hilltop vines with southern exposure. It has a little more fruit intensity on the nose than the Cuvée Godefroy, in a redder style - red cherry and raspberry, cranberry. And this cranberry note continues on the palate, which reveals a fine tannic structure and a lovely finish of cherry and minerality. Who said Beaujolais didn't know elegance?" (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

Château Thivin - Brouilly 2012

4.2/5 (5 reviews)

New vintage, 2011 rated: Parker 88/100, Bettane & Desseauve 15.5/20
This is a rich, full-bodied Brouilly, opening up to the eye in a ruby color. Its aromas of fresh grapes, red garden fruits and natural elegance make it a very feminine wine... An invitation to pleasure!

Château Thivin - Cuvée Godefroy 2011

Note: Bettane & Desseauve 16.5/20
"Great firmness, more mineral than tannic, lots of character but it's better to wait a bit for its fruit to return, it'll make a dense, straight bottle." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). Still a lot of pleasure and openness in this fruity yet profound cuvée...
