Château Thivin - Les Griottes de Brulhié 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.
Les Griottes de Brulhié is made from predominantly white Gamay Noir and a few Chardonnay vines (1 to 2%) which provide finesse. The harvest comes from an entirely manual harvest and vinified partly in whole bunches by gravity in order to use neither pump nor conveyor for the harvest. After pressing, aging lasts 7 to 9 months in oak barrels .
Grape variety: 100% Gamay
