When I saw this in a local wine shop I couldn't help but get super giddy inside, as it immediately took me back to the time I visited that very winery in France. It was a wine I simply could not pass up, as I recall very fond memories of my most recent trip to France to this Burgundian winery.
The photos below are ones I saved from my trip to France, circa two years ago:
Brooke's Tasting Notes:
This 2010 Chateau Thivin, Cote de Brouilly (website here) exudes notes of red raspberries on the nose, with a slight sweet cranberry, lingering finish. I like the fact that this light-bodied, easy-tannic wine really shows the true terroir of the Gamay fruit on the Beaujolais soil from which this wine originated.
