Calvet-Thunevin
Côtes du Roussillon | France
This young project is the brainchild of Jean-Luc
Thunevin and Jean-Roger Calvet and is limited to only a few hectares
of old vines planted on black schist. Jean-Luc Thunevin made his
first mark on the wine world with (what is now) the cult wine
Château Valandraud in Bordeaux. Valandraud is recognized as one of
the first “garage” wines of Bordeaux. In 2001, he teamed up with
Jean-Roger Calvet, a local winemaker who was doing great work with
Carignan and Grenache, to produce their first vintage.
