| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nBeautiful cherry red colour, floral, fruity bouquet, round on the palate with fresh garden fruits; underpinned by supple tannins.\r\nFood Pairings - beautiful with white meats\r\n\r\nTERROIR\r\nOn a due east-facing 5.5\u00a0ha hillside, on a formation of the first foothills of the Massif Central, with a soil of friable pink granite containing little organic matter. Two cadoles (dry-stone huts), one from the 18th\u00a0century, testify to the historic nature of this\u00a0terroir.\r\nThis is a part of the\u00a0appellation\u00a0that we particularly like, for the Granitic purity and its poor soils that give distinctive wines with very elegant fruit aromas.\r\n\r\nCULTIVATION\r\nGrassed or tilled strips break up this\u00a0terroir\u00a0prone to storms, little sensitivity to diseases because of the well-drained soil, demands few treatments in Summer. The grapes are picked by hand and transported in small trays in order to preserve their quality.\r\n\r\nVINIFICATION\r\nVinification in whole bunches in our hillside cellars, whose successive levels allow us to make maximum use of gravity, so as to avoid using either pumps or conveyors for the grapes.\r\nMaceration for only 8 days in order to capture all the freshness of the fruit, matured for 7 months in cement vats.\r\nAbout Ch\u00e2teau Thivin\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSince 1743 our family has been handing down from generation to generation this passion for the wine-grower\u2019s trade, respect for our\u00a0terroirs, precious know-how, and a quest for excellence.\r\nOn 8th\u00a0June 1877, Zaccharie and Marguerite Geoffray bought Ch\u00e2teau Thivin and its two hectares of vineyards surrounding the estate (Le Clos).\r\nEach succeeding generation would contribute new plots of land to build up the estate and would develop the growing and wine-making methods. Today, the 5th\u00a0and 6the\u00a0generations of the Geoffray family run this small family business, work the estate\u2019s vineyards, and vinify each wine, respecting the\u00a0terroir\u00a0of its origin as the seasons change.\r\nToday, Claude Vincent is happy and proud to take his three grandchildren Tobias, Nicolas, and Florina into the vineyards and the cellar so as to initiate them in the secrets of the craft and give them a taste for working the land. |
