Brouilly Reverdon Chateau Thivin 2022

One of Beaujolais' benchmark producers, Chateau Thivin produce some of the region's finest wines, with depth and complexity alongside textbook drinkability. Their vineyards are managed organically, and the winemaking in the cellar is done with minimal intervention, preserving the unique character of each of their vineyard sites.

Old vines grow high on the ‘Reverdon’; the sandy, pink granite slopes opposite Mont Brouilly. The volcanic soil is poor but well drained and these hard working vines produce intensely perfumed wines with exceptional balance. The vinification process involves whole bunch fermentation, with only 8 days maceration, before 7 months maturation in concrete vats.

This shows more openly floral and fruit-forward when compared to their wines from the volcanic soils of Cote de Brouilly - the Reverdon has a very pretty aroma of blue and black berries, peony and lily. The palate balances perfectly between ripe, juicy berry fruit and a moreish seam of acidity alongside a light stony hint to the finish. Try this exemplary Brouilly with food ranging from roast chicken to soy-glazed aubergine, it is very versatile at the table!
