Chateau Thivin is Beaujolais and Cote de Brouilly. It was founded in 1877 by Zaccharie Geoffray and it has been in the Geoffray family ever since. Thivin calls itself the oldest estae on Mount Brouilly and is today run by Claude Geoffray and his wife. The estate grows Gamay Noir and a small amount of Chardonnay. The estate produces both Beaujolais and Cote de Brouilly wines. In 2008 the estate began conversion to organic viticulture and it expects to be 100% organic by 2020.
