Château Thivin
Cuvée Godefroy Côte de Brouilly Gamay
Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
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.

Really fine. Explosive nose of ripe and tangy red fruit. Intense amounts of crumbly granite minerality. Very vibrant in the mouth, but resolved and soft. So much granite. Great acids. Maybe not quite as focused as the 14s but pretty damn close (and a darn sight better than the 15s).
