Chateau Thivin,
Ready, but will keep,
A magical cuvée vintage after vintage, this is a blend of fruit from seven parcels, with a variety of aspects and soils – mostly blue and pink granite – around the volcanic hill of Brouilly. The nose combines flamboyant aromas of strawberry jam, blueberry and subtler savoury notes, which will become more pronounced with time in bottle.
The theme of cheerful red and blue fruit continues on the palate. Riper and less austere than, say, the cuvée Godefroy, but with the same beguiling saline character to the finish.
Try it with carpaccio or tartare de bœuf.

Château Thivin of the Côte de Brouilly appellation in Beaujolais has been in the hands of the Geoffray family since 1877.
Today Claude and Evelyne Geoffray produce several different cuvees depending on the orientation of each parcel as the Côte de Brouilly hill has vines on all of its four sides.
The regular wine blend is known as Sept Vignes (as there are seven different locations for their various plots), while they are increasingly introducing single vineyard cuvees.
