Chateau Thivin Cote de Brouilly Cuvee Zacharie 2018

Cuvée Zacharie is this domain's grand vin and one of the most beautiful wines in all the region. It is made from very old and densely planted vines (10,000 vines per hectare). During maturation, the wine spends a tenth of its maturation time in new oak barrels and the rest of the time in 1 to 5 year old barrels (a maturation period of 9 months altogther). This wine is always very ripe and concentrated, offering a subtle woody aroma, tight tannins and a sublime finish. Plenty of ageing potential.

Bright and vivid with a linear palate of black cherries, plums and orange peel. It’s tight and focused with a compact palate and a long, creamy finish. Extremely well crafted.
