Ruby almost purple color. Nose of red and dark berries, there is some Concord grapes notes, but also spices and earth. This have everything the vintage calls for with ripeness and chewyness, but also the typical acidity you get from Gamay, then a light bitterness on the finish. Highly chuggable wine like I appreciate so much! Very good+ (90)

Medium dark purple color. Nose of dark berries, spices, earth then some flower notes. Round on the palate with ripe fruit flavors, the wine is tasty and seductive, true to the vintage it’s coming from. There is also a hint of acidity that brings some freshness on the finish. This is a good example of why we should not  forget about bigger houses when looking for wines of good value. Good+ (88)

Medium dark light purple color. Nose of flowers, sweet red berries, earth and spices. Chewy on the palate, we feel the warmer vintage with the typical ripe fruit, but the wine still have enough acidity and concentration to be enjoyable and fresh. Once again, I like that wine that will be perfect for pairing with richer dishes or with a deli meat plate when Spring will be back! Very good (89)

Already the 3rd vintage to be reviewed on the blog! Looks like this is a wine I like year after year…

Ruby color with purple hue. Nose where red fruits blossoms with cherries, berries, then spices and earth. Chewy and tasty fruit folloewd by spices flavors, a good concentration while staying fresh and juicy. An other nice wine in a more expressive and savory style, true to my impressions on 2014 Beaujolais wine I had yet. Very good (89)

Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly Cuvée Les Sept Vignes 2014

Beautiful and dense ruby color. Explosive nose of flowers, red berries (cranberries, cherries and strawberries), some spices, smoke and mineral notes. Flavors of red fruits, spices (pepper), it’s tasty with a balanced concentration. The finish which is slightly bitter, mineral with a touch of green notes last for a good moment. Young, could use some cellar sleep time or some air and then could be very pretty! Very good – very good+ (89-90)

Made of Gamay. Aged in 20 and 40hl oak barrels for 6 to 8 months. Alcohol level of 13%

Available at the SAQ for 23,95$ (Code SAQ : 12806651)

How could I describe my apprecciation for this wine other than… liked it a LOT! Fruit flavor loaded, fine spices, amazing freshness and it drinks so easily. To my palate, even better than the same wine from 2013 vintage and that one was my favorite Gamay from Beaujolais available in SAQ stores in 2015. Had to buy more just to get to the upcoming summer… Excellent (91)
