Winemaker description:

"The Côte’s signature minerality is at the forefront, offering crunchy, smoky nuances from the very first sip. Alcohol is low, the Gamay fruit is pure and bright, aromas of red fruit and purple flowers and herbs round out its delightful complexity."

Notes from Binnys Beverages: 

"It is no surprise that Château Thivin is the benchmark domaine of the Côte de Brouilly: everything about it is exceptional: Vineyards situated on steep slopes with a 48% grade, exposed to the South, East, and Southeast. Traditional whole-cluster fermentation keeps the characteristic fruity qualities of Gamay, after which the grapes are transferred to 'cuves' by gravity without being crushed. Each vintage spends a few months in large oak 'foudres' before bottling. Drinks well in its youth and develops beautifully 3-8 years after the vintage."
