($24, Kermit Lynch):  Château Thivin owns about 18 acres of this 65-acre east-facing vineyard in Brouilly, the largest and most southern of Beaujolais’ ten cru.  Lighter and fruitier than their Côte de Brouilly, it still conveys underlying minerality because of the rose-granite soil in the vineyard.  Bright and filled with red fruit flavors, it has none of the firmness of their Côte de Brouilly.
