Chateau Thivin Cote de Brouilly Les Sept Vignes 2024

Château Thivin’s Côte de Brouilly Les Sept Vignes brings together fruit from seven hillside parcels on Mont Brouilly, expressing the region’s distinctive volcanic terroir. Made by the estate since 1877, this Gamay-led red is shaped by the mountain’s blue-stone soils and finished with seven months in oak.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows an intense garnet-red colour with blueish highlights. Its aromatic profile combines cherry with delicate notes of hawthorn and peony, while the palate is medium-bodied and juicy, with velvety tannins and lively acidity. A spicy finish and stony mineral character lend further definition. The supplied information does not specify a drinking window; its balance suggests it can be enjoyed young, with the option to cellar for a few years.

Production
The grapes come from seven parcels—Clos Bertrand, La Chapelle, Les Griottes, Godefroy, L’Heronde, Henri and Les Fournelles—on the slopes of Mont Brouilly near Odenas. Their blue-stone soils, formed from volcanic metadiorite, vary from rockier ground higher on the hillside to more clay-rich soils below. The grapes are hand-harvested and partly fermented as whole bunches before pressing. The lots are blended in spring, then matured for seven months in oak. The source describes a blend of Gamay and Chardonnay, although the product listing identifies Gamay as the grape.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, with roast chicken, charcuterie, grilled sausages or mushroom dishes; its bright acidity and supple tannins also suit hard, mature cheeses. Decanting is not essential, but giving the wine 20–30 minutes in a carafe can help open its aromas.

Producer
Château Thivin has been making wine on Mont Brouilly since 1877 and is closely associated with the Côte de Brouilly appellation. Its Les Sept Vignes cuvée reflects the estate’s practice of bringing together fruit from seven distinct hillside parcels, each with its own exposure and soil character. The source also notes that the estate is Terra Vitis-certified.
