Aug 10th, 2018I love this wine- fresh, nice stem character, spice, earth, hint of game, bright blue and red fruits, tons of flavor, clean, more body than you would expect for a Gamay and full of flavor. Wines are always wonderful from Chateau Thivin- one of my favorites.

Mar 23rd, 2018Light bright ruby. Intense, sharply focused aromas of raspberry liqueur, lavender and succulent herbs carry a zesty mineral overtone. Sweet and seamless on the palate, offering nervy red berry, blood orange and floral pastille flavors that are underscored by suggestions of licorice and allspice. At once powerful and elegant, finishing with excellent tension, persistence and harmonious tannins. The interplay of power and finesse here is quite impressive. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2018)

Nov 28th, 2018Juicy, bright, and flavorful. Touch of spice and tartness towards the end. Dangerously easy-drinking.

Nov 3rd, 2018Quality-mark in premium part of Brouilly. This wine is closer in style towards Burgundy P.N then actually Beaujolais. Wine is medium bodied and has beautiful concentration of berries and fruits, elegance and balance. Wine is georges overall
