Chateau Thivin Beaujolais Villages 'Vignes D'Ecussol' 2020

In1877, Zaccharie and Marguerite Geoffray bought Château Thivin and its two hectares of vineyards surrounding the estate (Le Clos). Each succeeding generation would contribute new plots of land to build up the estate and would develop the growing and wine-making methods. Today, the 5^th and 6^the generations of the Geoffray family run this small family business, work the estate’s vineyards, and vinify each wine, respecting the terroir of its origin as the seasons change.

Nicely east-facing on a slight slope behind the lovely village of Quincié-en-Beaujolais. On a light soil of granitic sand. Vines are 50yrs old. A wine full of fruit, crunchy and fresh with a fine, pure bouquet of Gamay and a fine, smooth mouth-feel.
