2022 Thunevin-Calvet L'Amourette Red
Tasting Notes
Brilliant crimson in the glass. Aromas of crushed red berries, garrigue, and dried rose emerge with subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and layered, offering silky red fruit, a peppery edge, and polished tannins. The finish is long and pure, with a hint of wild herbs and stony drive.
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.
