Chateau Thivin 2023 Cote de Brouilly "Les 7 Vignes" 750ml

This is like entering a woodland clearing, the floor of which is covered with violets. The juiciness, velvety tannins and elegant acidity create a very satisfying whole on the medium-bodied palate. The fresh and moderately dry finish has good stony minerality and pulls you back for more. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
