Chateau Thivin, Brouilly "Reverdon", 2023
Benchmark Beaujolais from the oldest estate on Mont Brouilly. Chateau Thivin has 600 years of history; the Geoffray family has owned it since 1877. Wine Advocate calls it a reference point for classical, age-worthy cru Beaujolais. The Reverdon vineyard is 5.5 hectares on pink granite, east-facing, opposite the famous volcanic mountain. Traditional semi-carbonic maceration with the grillage technique keeps berries whole; aged entirely in concrete to preserve purity. This is serious Gamay that rewards cellaring—or generous decanting if drinking young.
