2023 Thunevin-Calvet L'Amourette Blanc
Tasting Notes
Pale gold with green highlights. Aromas of pear skin, citrus blossom, and crushed almond rise from the glass, touched by a saline breeze. The palate is finely textured and graceful, showing orchard fruit and chalky minerality balanced by taut acidity. The finish is precise and persistent with elegant lift.
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.
