Château Thivin - Reverdon 2022
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 purchased Château Thivin and its two hectares of vines around the estate on June 8, 1877. Each generation succeeding them brought new plots of land to the construction of the estate and evolved the cultivation and winemaking methods. The estate's vines are located mainly in the Crus Côte de Brouilly and Brouilly, but the family also produces white, rosé and sparkling Beaujolais vintages. 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 boxes to respect the qualities of the grapes. Vinification is done in whole clusters by gravity so as not to use pumps or conveyors for the harvest. Maceration lasts just 8 days to capture all the freshness of the fruit, and aging lasts 7 months in cement vats .
Grape variety: 100% Gamay
