Brambley, cobblery goodness wafts from this ruby glass. The palate is surprisingly less ripe, with sour raspberries and blackberries showing. Acid is high. Medium bodied.

Couldn’t disagree more with the other rating here. The Godefroy comes from a single plot with 80-100 year old vines (that’s real vieilles vignes!). It’s deep and muscular, mineral and athletic but it’s still so charmingly fruity (cherries and black berries galore). Thivin continues to amaze me and given the structure of this wine I am more than sure it will age gracefully over the next 5-10 years easily.

Young, reminiscent of the marketing triumph that is DeBoeuf. If somebody offered it, we wouldn’t turn it down, but there seems no reason to go looking for it. Seems unlikely to age well.

Could drink this every night. Wonderful fruit but so deep and complex without ever(!) feeling heavy at all. Ticks all my boxes.
