Chateau Thivin Cote de Brouilly Cuvee Zaccharie, Beaujolais, France 2023
Côte de Brouilly “Cuvée Zaccharie” 2023 is a beautifully structured and expressive Cru Beaujolais from one of the appellation’s historic benchmark estates. Sourced from old‑vine Gamay grown on the volcanic slopes of Mont Brouilly, the 2023 vintage offers vibrant aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, and violet layered with hints of spice and crushed stone. The palate is concentrated yet refined, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a distinctive mineral backbone that carries through a long, energetic finish. Elegant yet powerful, Cuvée Zaccharie represents one of the most serious and age‑worthy expressions of Côte de Brouilly.

"The 2023 Côte de Brouilly Cuée Zaccharie is, as usual, a barrel selection aged in Burgundy barrels for 12 months with 10% new wood. This has a more sensual bouquet with luxurious red berry fruit, allspice and light fireside ash scents blossoming in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, harmonious and poised with silky tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a pure, slightly peppery note that fans out on the finish. This is very seductive, as usual. The 2023 is superb." Vinous 93 |
