Upon aeration, a slightly spicy and mineral touch enriches the ensemble. On the palate, the attack is soft and harmonious, supported by a well-defined body. The tannins are fine and silky, providing structure without weighing down the wine. Natural freshness supports the balance and extends the tasting. The fruit remains precise and expressive throughout the palate. The finish is clean, elegant, and persistent.

It pairs well with both simple cuisine and more elaborate dishes, thanks to its natural balance. This cuvée perfectly illustrates Château Thivin's ability to produce consistent, readable wines deeply rooted in their terroir. It naturally finds its place in both collectors' cellars and convivial tables. A sincere, precise, and harmonious wine. A beautiful expression of characterful Beaujolais.
