Chateau Thivin - Cote de Brouilly 'Cuvee Zaccharie' - 2022

The beautifully integrated oak gives this concentrated Cotes de Brouilly an extra level of intensity and structure, but there's also a wonderful creme de cassis and ripe forest berry character. Very long, compact finish that needs some time to fully open up and reveal all treasures. From organically grown grapes. Matured in small oak cooperage. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. 95 Points - Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
