“Among the Côtes-de-Brouilly wines, Les 7 Vignes is the most delicate of the tasting... ” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - RVF). “Balanced and straightforward, concentrated on the palate, a true expression of the terroir, with a slender and fresh finish.” (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2012 - Bettane & Desseauve)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
Château Thivin has embarked on a renovation of its vineyard, with a focus on soil management. As part of its transition to organic farming, trellising on the steepest plots—such as La Chapelle—is now the standard practice. The range is extensive: fruit-forward whites and reds, as well as Côte de Brouilly wines (Sept Vignes, Griottes de Brulhié). The magnificent trio of Godefroy, Chapelle, and Zaccharie particularly impressed and moved us this year. A must-visit for wine lovers and a source of truly great wines.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate)
About the estate:
This historic estate remains a benchmark for classic, age-worthy Beaujolais, and the 2019 vintage is a fine success. As I wrote last year, the Geoffrays have banned herbicides and insecticides from their vineyards and are among the most conscientious growers in the appellation, working toward organic certification. In the cellar, winemaking is traditional, with semi-carbonic maceration and aging generally in large oak casks—though some small cuvées see a bit of new oak. A staple of France’s finest restaurants—and this writer’s table—all readers unfamiliar with these wines are strongly encouraged to seek them out. This year, the Brouilly Reverdon deserves a special mention, as it is particularly successful.
