Chateau Thivin Les Griottes de Brulhie 2023

Chateau Thivin Les Griottes de Brulhie 2023 is a charming Beaujolais red that showcases the freshness, precision, and lifted fruit that have made the estate such a benchmark in the region. Drawn from one of Chateau Thivin’s distinctive vineyard sites, it combines lively, juicy character with the mineral edge that gives the wines of Brouilly their appeal and staying power.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2023 vintage is typically bright and vibrant, with a vivid ruby hue and plenty of youthful energy. The nose leans toward crunchy red berries, cherry, violets, and subtle spice, with a touch of earthy, stony complexity underneath. On the palate, it is juicy and expressive, offering ripe red fruit, a supple texture, and refreshing acidity that keeps the wine focused and easy to enjoy. The finish is clean and mineral-driven, with enough structure to suggest a few years of graceful aging, though it will also drink beautifully in its youth.

Production
Chateau Thivin is known for working with carefully selected sites in Beaujolais, where granite-rich soils and well-exposed slopes help produce wines with both fragrance and definition. Les Griottes de Brulhie comes from a terroir that favors ripe fruit balanced by tension and freshness, and the grapes are typically harvested by hand to preserve quality and sort only the best fruit. Vinification is carried out with a light-touch approach that respects the character of the vintage and vineyard, allowing the wine to express its natural energy, purity, and sense of place.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, and classic French fare such as coq au vin or duck terrine. Serve slightly chilled, around 14-16°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not essential, but a short decant can help open up the wine if enjoyed soon after opening.
