2023 Chateau Thivin Beaujolais Villages 'Vignes d'Ecussol' 750Ml Bottle

This is the bouncy, stainless steel matured rendering of gamay – built for speed. And yes, still screw cap closure.Joyous stuff, hits the glass with shiny, ruby coloured looks and hits the palate pretty much the same way. Rose hip tea, cranberry drink, tart cherry, white strawberry, a dose of spice and dried herbs, with a big crunch to upfront texture and then a soft, supple finish. Easy drinking personified. Fun. 92 points - Mike Bennie, The Winefront

It is an amazingly high quality for a Beaujolais Villages level. Juicy, rich and super fresh with a multitude of berry fruit with hints of floral and mineral notes.
The palate, however, has old-school richness. It's from Quincié, just to the NE of Mont Brouilly on a gentle SE slope. It’s darker in 2022 and 2023 than previously, and Sonja says she uses has a higher whole bunch component in contrast to the Cru wines.
