Château Thivin
Cuvée les Griottes Côte de Brouilly Gamay
Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Claude Geoffray is the master. I am not worthy. Nobody gets purity, intensity, texture, and balance in such perfect symbiosis. A little lighter color than some of his other single vineyard or special cuvée wines, but the intensity of aromas is striking: massive granitic minerality, piercing gamay hard cherry fruit, held together by a feral animal thing. Electric in the mouth, with sparking cracked granite and tingly berries. Long crisp finish. Zowie! Actually complemented my Pakistani kebab take-out too. Mille grazie to Fass Selections for bringing this in.
