Côte De Brouilly, Beaujolais

Château Thivin

Cuvée Godefroy Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2016

In an amazing place. Nose has some reduction which will blow off but man o man that palate. The acid is just so intense and layered, juicy and explosive fruit like you cannot believe. Just cracking! So tasty. It’s got an urgency on the palate that makes this so special. Sappy for days and unreal velvety and mineral drenched tannins. My goodness this is brilliant. Nose has some smoke and leather as well. Unreal freshness. I mean the freshness is like young dry Riesling. Genius stuff and in the window. Let’s see what air does. — 18 hours ago

@Lyle Fass aged cru Beaujolais from a producer like Thivin is special. I bet this will be still awesome in 2036!

@Jay Kline it’s got the guts for long aging. But at 9 years old it was so strong. Love the old vine sap here and the insane energy.

Brouilly Gamay 2021

Very tart, lip - smacking cherry juice. Would be lovely on the deck on a warm summer evening. Alas, it’s 25 and snowing, but nice nonetheless. Takes a little of the chill out of winter. — 2 months ago

Domaine de la Voûte des Crozes Côte-de-Brouilly Gamay 2015

The 2015 Côte-de-Brouilly from Nicole Chanrion is a delicious, ten year old Beaujolais Cru that delivers
good structure, excellent balance, surprising depth and a large amount of pure, primary fruit. Nothing else is needed.

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2017

Pretty volatile soon after pouring. Calmed down with some time in the glass. But still unlikely to please everyone. The carbonic maceration is evident. With all of this, I ended up finding it to be an interedting and enjoyable expression of terroir. — 3 months ago

Supple and fresh candied nose of red fruit. Grippy and fresh. Good balance. — 2 days ago
