Chateau Thivin Beaujolais Villages Vignes d'Ecussol Gamay Noir 2021

The Geoffrey family who have worked these vineyards for 6 generations make this wine from east facing 50 year old vines on granite soil. Hand harvested and vinified using semi-carbonic winemaking , then aged in neutral inox tanks. Bright crunchy red fruit with an earthy edge and a very long finish. White-juiced Gamay noir, age of the vines: 50 years.

Nicely east-facing on a slight slope behind the lovely village of Quincié-en-Beaujolais. On a light soil of granitic sand. Ideal for an apéro with friends or a picnic in the country.
