"Finesse and gourmandise!"

"The Côte de Brouilly 2021 has evolved well, blending cherry and berry aromas with notes of fiery embers and forest floor. Medium-bodied, fleshy and vibrant, with a lively core of fruit, powdery tannins and a sapid, saline finish, it marks a return to a more classically proportioned style after several richer, riper vintages." (Wine Advocate 2022)

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2022 guide) 91/100

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

About the wine:

Immediately more pronounced character of freshness and minerality, with a hint of acidity that gives it a lively mouthfeel. Fine tannins and a refined finish, without any heaviness. In the elegant style of the estate's wines.

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 wine:

The Côte de Brouilly 2021 has evolved well, blending cherry and berry aromas with notes of glowing embers and forest floor. Medium-bodied, fleshy and vibrant, with a lively core of fruit, powdery tannins and a sapid, saline finish, it marks a return to a more classically proportioned style after several richer, riper vintages. 2021-2033

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.
