Thivin Beaujolais Blanc Clos de Rochebonne 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Beaujolais
R510
‘The 2021 Beaujolais Blanc Clos de Rochebonne is the best rendition of this cuvée I can remember tasting. Offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, citrus oil, drawn butter and blanched almonds, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a long, saline finish. A low pH of 3.11 helps explain why the 2021 has so much tension and energy. 2021-2030’ – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 91/100

| Producer information | Beaujolais’ historic Château Thivin ranks amongst ‘the reference points for classical, age-worthy cru Beaujolais’, notes the Wine Advocate. This is the oldest estate on Mont Brouilly, with the 15th century château built on an ancient volcano! Château Thivin was founded in 1877 by the Geoffray family with 2 hectares, and today spans 17 hectares. The Côte de Brouilly appellation was created in 1938, largely thanks to Zacharie’s Geoffray’s tireless work. |
