Written Notes

Tasted in August 2021. This wine is made from a single plot (28.3 ha) of 80-100 years old vines growing on the lower part of Brouilly slopes. Manual harvest, vinified partly in whole bunches and ageing in large oak foudres for 7-9 months. Tasted along Les Griottes de Brulhie and it’s different wine. Fatter one with more intensity and concentration. The nose is full of black cherries, crushed stones and rose bush. Mineral on the palate with wild cherries and rose bush flavour, freshness, vibrancy and showing bright acidity. Tannin is almost not noticeable at all hiding somewhere. A complex wine with flowing midpalate and great length. Sublimely lingering finish. Terrific and impressive stuff from Thivin, the producer!
