2022 Côte de Brouilly, Les Griottes de Brulhié, Château Thivin, Beaujolais

Description

The 2022 Les Griottes de Brulhié wonderfully captures its blue volcanic rock terroir, delivering aromas of candied red and black cherries, candied peel, sweet pea blooms and sweet spices. The wine's components are present in beautiful harmony, carefully extracted to reveal polished structuring tannins and bright acids that animate its juicy berry-fruited core. Medium-bodied, the wine boasts a lush concentration of flavour and great depth on the mid-palate, with layers of dried herbs and a crystalline salinity that surface on the lengthy, flavourful finish.

About this wine

Gamay

A French variety planted predominately in Beaujolais where it is the grape behind everything from light and often acidic Beaujolais Nouveau through to the more serious and well-structured wines from the 10 cru villages. It takes its name from a hamlet just outside Chassagne-Montrachet and was at one stage widely planted on the Côte d`Or. However it was gradually phased out due to its poor yield and supposed poor quality of its wines.
