"An impressive vintage!"

Produced from the Griottes parcel in the "Brulhié" locality, whose wines have been renowned since the 17th century, this cuvée charms with its freshness and finesse. An expressive nose of fresh berries, peony, cherry and wild strawberry. Maturing in oak casks gives it a lovely structure that accompanies a very pretty minerality, resulting in a juicy mouthfeel, finishing on black fruits enhanced by a hint of spice.

Expert opinion

Rated (guide 2025) 94/100 (Vintage 2022)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 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.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

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 small 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 particularly successful.
