«Château Thivin Beaujolais Blanc Clos de Rochebonne Monopole 2024 – 13% / This beautiful Chardonnay marries a wonderful textural richness and delicate hazelnut character with an animating candied citrus peel freshness
but a little fresher (only 4 years in barrel under the veil
with more concentration and dark berry notes of black raspberry and cherry as well as dark earth and menthol
with just a touch of oxidation in its notes of black cherries
The Fontaines have long rows stretching from top to bottom
2025 Paringa Estate Peninsula Pinot Noir 750Ml Bottle Balthazar «Château Thivin Beaujolais Blanc ClosThis hits the spot, not least at its price point. It has flavour, but also has some snap to it. Im thinking cherry, spice, a little cedar, herb & perfume. The tannin sits confidently within the wine, not too much, not too little, & theres brightness, energy, & good length to boot. Lovely wine. Recommended. 93 Points, Gary Walsh, The Winefront
