2020 Thunevin-Calvet Divae
Tasting Notes
Opaque garnet with a dense core. The nose is bold and brooding, with notes of black plum, charred meat, and crushed rock. On the palate, it is intense and structured, featuring deep black fruit, firm tannins, and hints of smoked spice. The finish is powerful and long, leaving an imprint of dark fruit and graphite.
About Thunevin-Calvet
Domaine Thunevin-Calvet is a vibrant partnership established in 2001 between Jean‑Luc Thunevin—renowned for creating the groundbreaking Bordeaux “garage wine”—and talented Roussillon native Jean‑Roger Calvet. Located in the foothills of the Pyrenees, the estate now spans about 160 acres. What began in modest conditions in a garage, evolved into a modern, sustainably built winery by 2008. Today, Thunevin-Calvet is known for producing wines with bold character and soulful depth, offering outstanding quality and expressive southern French terroir at remarkable value.
