Figured I’d put 2 pictures since the second one is fuzzy.
2021 Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly cuvée Godefroy
This is my second 2021 from Thivin. I had the Les Sept Vignes a while back (here) and this is giving me the same assessment for 2021s at Thivin. Out of the wine fridge and Pnp so less than ideal temperature initially. It’s got that Welch’s 100% Concord grape juice vibe that I get from some Bojo. That’s pretty much all you get when this is at 14oC. After some air and coming to temp, it morphs into red and dark cherries with slight damp earth. Zingy almost natty-bright first palate but it dissipates on the mid-palate, medium+ acidity and tamed tannins. Medium-short finish that is all fruit. This confirms what the Sept Vignes had hinted at, this isn’t the most structured or probably longest lived vintage at Thivin. Good, fresh Bojo, very clean an expressive cherry fruit, some depth and probably some upside in 5 to 7 but not one for the ages.
