Chateau Thivin - Cote de Brouilly 'Cuvee la Chapelle' - 2022

Simultaneously deep, sophisticated and taut on the medium-bodied palate, this has the stony intensity we associate with the best wines of this appellation. A touch of zesty blood orange freshness accentuates the freshness of the red fruit character, particularly at the long and racy finish. From 70- to 80-year-vines at the top of the hill of Cote de Brouilly, where it is really steep and the soil is very stony. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025 95 Points - Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
