Chateau Thivin is one of the original Kermit Lynch producers that helped put great Cru Beaujolais on the map and back into the focus of wine lovers. The highly aromatic nose offers scents of Rainer cherries, earth and iris. The structured palate offers strawberry and cranberry fruit and additional notes of lavender and spicy tannins. Delicious now with any kind of fowl or sausage, this lip-smackin' red will only improve and become more noble over the next 3 to 5 years. Please pass the Dijon-lentils and sausages! “Firm, peppery and well-structured, this is an excellent expression of the volcanic Cote-de-Brouilly terroir. And once you’ve taken that in, you pick up on the juiciness of the medium-bodied palate with black and blue berry fruit. Animating acidity in the long, structured finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.” 93 J.S.
