Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Zaccharie

Cuvée Zaccharie is a red Côte de Brouilly from Château Thivin in Beaujolais. The old vines grow on soils of volcanic diorite porphyry mixed with clay. One tenth of the wine is raised in Burgundy pièces of French oak and the rest in barrels one to five years old, with ten months of ageing in oak. The nose is of very ripe blackcurrant and blackberry. The palate is round and warm, with plenty of spice.
