Chateau Thivin Reverdon Brouilly

More autumnal and earthy in tone, this opens with baked cranberry, red apple skin, and damson, layered with dried rose hip, bay leaf, and warm gravel after rain. The palate is rounded but composed, with sapid red fruit and a gently savory core carried by pliant, loamy tannins and a quietly energizing acid-driven lift that keeps the wine from feeling soft. Notes of sweet tobacco, clove stem, and stone dust emerge through the mid-palate, settling into a dry, grounded finish with a faint saline pull. A Brouilly that trades bright charm for depth and texture, showing confidence and nuance rather than flash.
