Thivin's classic Côte de Brouilly blending seven parcels across the hill for a precise, floral Gamay with stony lift and refreshing acidity.

What it pairs with

  • Quenelles de brochet sauce Nantua
    Bright acidity and light tannin lift the delicate pike dumpling.
  • Charcuterie lyonnaise
    Floral red fruit plays against rosette de Lyon and saucisson.
  • Gratin dauphinois
    High acidity cuts the cream and potato richness cleanly.

History
