Château Thivin is the oldest estate on Mont Brouilly. The soils are blue stone rather than the pink granite more common in Beaujolais, this type of soil gives a floral note to the wines. Whole bunches are placed in tanks that are sealed and the fermentation is left untouched for two weeks. This “carbonic maceration” makes plush, perfumed and fleshy wines. The fermentation finishes in oak foudres, where the wine also ages for around nine months. The gamay grape, fermented and matured this way this gives a sweet spot for structure, freshness and fine tannins.
