Chateau Thivin - Reverdon 2020
Château Thivin is located in Mont-Brouilly , in Beaujolais . It belongs to the Geoffray family which has been producing wines for 6 generations. Zaccharie and Marguerite Geoffray bought Château Thivin and its two hectares of vines around the estate on June 8, 1877. Each succeeding generation has brought new plots to the construction of the estate and developed the cultivation and wine-growing methods. The estate's vines are located mainly 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 optimize cultivation practices, to ensure a perfect balance of the vineyard ecosystem with healthy vines and grapes of optimal quality.
Reverdon is made from Gamay Noir with white juice, from the granite arena of the place called “Reverdon” opposite Mont Brouilly. The harvest is harvested manually and transported in small crates to respect the qualities of the grapes. The vinification is done in whole bunches by gravity in order to use neither pump nor conveyor for the harvest. The maceration lasts only 8 days to capture all the freshness of the fruit, and the aging lasts 7 months in cement vats .
Grape variety: 100% Gamay
