Thivin's pink granite Brouilly rosé brings summery red berries and a mineral grip that sets it apart. This is Gamay with backbone, not a blur of sweetness. Organic farming on an ancient volcanic slope shows in the wine's structure and clarity. Delicious enough to drink on its own, serious enough to handle food.
Winemaker Notes
Only 2% of Beaujolais production is Rosé. That makes the Thivin Rosé one of the world’s rarest. Separate from this trivial fact, Thivin makes one enjoyable Rosé. Sourced from the pink granite terroir of Brouilly, this Rosé is simply delicious, with good grip and notes of summery red berries.
About the Producer
It is no surprise that Château Thivin is the benchmark domaine of the Côte de Brouilly; everything about it is exceptional. Built in the fifteenth century on an ancient volcano which juts out steeply into the valley below, Thivin is the oldest estate on Mont Brouilly. Even more important, however, is its tremendous success since farmer Zaccharie Geoffray purchased the château with its two hectares of land at auction in 1877.
