2022 Thunevin-Calvet Asphodèle
Tasting Notes
Light straw with silvery edges. The nose opens with white peach, lemon zest, and hints of acacia. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and crystalline, featuring citrus and stony minerality over a sleek, tension-filled frame. A cool, zesty finish leaves a lasting impression of energy and elegance.
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.
