Château Thivin "Clos de Rochebonne" 2024 Beaujolais Blanc
The Clos de Rochebonne is an exceptional white wine that challenges the traditional norms of Beaujolais. Sourced from a magnificent 1.5-hectare walled vineyard (clos) in Theizé, this 100% Chardonnay thrives on "pierres dorées" (golden stones) terroir, rich in Jurassic gryphea limestone. This unique soil imparts a structure and minerality reminiscent of the great white wines of Burgundy. Vinified and aged in oak barrels, it offers an elegant nose of white flowers, citrus, and white-fleshed fruits, enhanced by a delicately toasted touch. On the palate, there is a perfect balance between a fleshy, almost buttery texture and a remarkable saline tension. A rare and refined gastronomic white wine that showcases the versatility of Château Thivin’s expertise.
