Tasting notes
This wine presents a deep garnet color with elegant bluish reflections. The aromatic bouquet reveals charming notes of hawthorn, peonies, and ripe cherries, lifted by a delicate mineral nuance. On the palate, it is supple and rounded, with flavors of black fruits unfolding gracefully toward a spicy, persistent finish. A beautifully crafted expression of Brouilly’s volcanic terroir—refined yet full of character.
More About The Winery
Founded in the 14th century and acquired by the Geoffray family in 1877, Château Thivin is the oldest estate on the slopes of the Côte de Brouilly, and today stands as one of the reference domaines of Beaujolais.
The estate’s vineyards are planted on steep, blue granite slopes that define the unique terroir of Côte de Brouilly, producing wines of intensity, freshness, and mineral elegance. The focus is on Gamay, crafted into reds that combine vibrant fruit, floral aromatics, and fine tannins, with an ageing potential far beyond the expectations of most Beaujolais wines.
Under the stewardship of Claude Geoffray and his son Claude-Edouard, Château Thivin embraces traditional methods, including hand harvesting, semi-carbonic maceration, and ageing in large oak foudres, ensuring wines that are both authentic and terroir-driven.
Internationally acclaimed, Château Thivin is praised by critics for producing serious, structured Beaujolais that rivals top Burgundy, making it a favorite among sommeliers and collectors.
