Chateau Thivin - Cote de Brouilly 'Les Clos' - 2022

For an appellation that can have quite a firm structure, this has a lovely fleshiness and silky tannins. Interwoven with the ripe red berry and cherry aromas is a thin streak of blood oranges that lifts it very nicely. From vines planted between 2004 and 2008 and trained on wires, but with a density of 7,000 vines per hectare. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 93 Points - Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com
