Château Thivin - Cuvée Zaccharie 2019
Château Thivin is located in Mont-Brouilly, in Beaujolais. It belongs to the Geoffray family which has produced wines for 6 generations. Zaccharie and Marguerite Geoffray bought on June 8, 1877 Château Thivin and its two hectares of vines around the estate. Each succeeding generation has brought new plots to the construction of the estate and brought about changes in cultivation and winemaking methods. The estate's vines are mainly located on the Crus Côte de Brouilly and Brouilly, but the family also produces white, rosé and sparkling Beaujolais cuvées. The family is constantly seeking to optimise cultivation practices, to ensure a perfect balance of the vineyard ecosystem with healthy vines and grapes of optimal quality.
Cuvée Zaccharie is made from Gamay Noir with white juice, from 50-year-old vines. The harvest comes from an entirely manual harvest, the vinification is done by gravity. The maceration, partially in whole bunches, lasts 13 to 15 days and is followed by gentle pressing. One tenth is aged in Burgundy pieces and the rest in pieces from 1 to 5 years old. The aging lasts 10 months in oak barrels.
Grape variety: 100% Gamay
