Benchmark Beaujolais from the oldest estate on Mont Brouilly. Chateau Thivin has 600 years of history; the Geoffray family has owned it since 1877. Wine Advocate calls it a reference point for classical, age-worthy cru Beaujolais. The Reverdon vineyard is 5.5 hectares on pink granite, east-facing, opposite the famous volcanic mountain. Traditional semi-carbonic maceration with the grillage technique keeps berries whole; aged entirely in concrete to preserve purity. This is serious Gamay that rewards cellaring—or generous decanting if drinking young.

"The 2023 Brouilly Reverdon was raised in concrete tank. It has an attractive blackcurrant and sloe-tinged bouquet that unfolds nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and gentle grip. It's peppery on the mid-palate with a fresh, structured finish. Give this a year in bottle and you will have a fine, feisty Brouilly." —Neal Martin

"From a site rooted in sand over pink granite, the 2023 Brouilly Reverdon offers vibrant aromas of crushed violet and peony petals, dark cherries and a touch of chocolate spice. Medium to full-bodied, it features a concentration perfectly balanced for the structure of the wine, offering an infusion of fruit, tangy with acidity. With its pillowy texture supported by talc-like, enveloping tannins, the wine leaves a lasting impression of joy and approachability." —Kenna Wells

More about Chateau Thivin

Château Thivin is one of Beaujolais unmissable classics, like Foillard in Morgon or Clos de la Roilette in Fleurie. Thivin’s own home is the Côte de Brouilly, a Cru that is often overlooked or confused with its neighbor, Brouilly. While Brouilly makes the lightest and simplest wines of the ten Crus, the Côte de Brouilly makes incredibly distinctive Beaujolais of structure and complexity.

The secret to the Cru’s terroir is revealed in its first name, Côte. Côte means slope, and in this case, the slope is a very steep one—48% grade!—on an old volcano. Volcanic soils are not that common in Beaujolais, but that’s what you find here. In particular, you find slightly blue volcanic rocks with minerals like plagioclase, a type of bright white feldspar, and the black, yet reflective mineral biotite of the mica family.

The combination of volcanic minerals, their impact on absorbing heat and reflecting light as well as the steep grade yield Gamay grapes unlike any others in the world. While you might find yourself inspired to forage for mushrooms, you won't have to forage for wines of singular beauty.
