This is Château Thivin’s historic vineyard, previously called Clos Bertrand, and is positioned moat-like around the manor-house. It was already planted with vines in the 14th century, as shown by an inscription on the lintel of a small cave that reads “1383”.
This walled vineyard at the foot of Mont Brouilly faces south-west; the soil is deeper and a proportion of pink granite is mixed with the magmatic rock of the hill. The grapes are picked exclusively by hand.

"This has an appealing richness that’s married to discreet notes of liquorice, cherry pastilles and ripe strawberries. Ample substance, fine tannins and some stony-smoky minerality. A positive touch of blood orange freshness at the long, delightfully rounded finish." 94 Points - Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
