A triumph every vintage, this 2023 Chapelle from Château Thivin is a sublime, delicate wine. La Chapelle consistently ranks among the appellation's finest for its aromatic concentration and finesse. In 2023, it once again proves its mastery with its balance and finesse, a slightly acidic finish, and remarkable length on the palate.
"No one knows how to make Côte de Brouilly wines as well as Château Thivin, and their 2023 vintage of La Chapelle reminds us that Gamay can produce wines just as intoxicating and rival Pinot Noir." 94/100 Neal Martin
