From the importer's website: The typicity of the Cote de Brouilly shines in this peppery, spicy, and angular cuvee from Thivin. Our signature bottling blends a selection from seven parcels, vinifed separately, and bottled especially to exemplify the complexity of this cru. Not your basic Beaujolais, it showcases pedigreed and assertive fruit that is strikingly substantial for Gamay, with a flinty core from the famous pierre bleu soils. It delivers pleasure and class in stride. Jane Augustine (Kermit Lynch)
