THUNEVIN - CALVET CONSTANCE: A Structured Roussillon Red

The Cuvée Constance is the flagship red from Thunevin-Calvet, a renowned partnership between Bordeaux’s 'Garagiste' pioneer Jean-Luc Thunevin and Maury native Jean-Roger Calvet. This A.O.P Côtes du Roussillon Villages embodies the dramatic intensity of the region's schist soils. The blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Carignan is matured in concrete to ensure the fruit's integrity, resulting in a structured, deep, and polished wine that punches well above its weight class. An essential addition to any serious cellar or dinner party.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Saturated, deep ruby colour.
• Aroma: Rich and concentrated, offering notes of dark berries, black cherry, plum, alongside complex savoury hints of pepper, garrigue, and a touch of black olive.
• Taste: A full-bodied palate with great density and weight. Silky tannins provide structure, leading to a long, spiced finish that is both powerful and refined. An absolutely tremendous red.

Service and Food Match

A classic Sunday Roast wine. Decant for 30 minutes before serving at 14°C-16°C (57°F-61°F).

• Suggested Food Pairings: Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Rosemary, Slow-Cooked Beef Stew, Mature Cheddar.
• Cellaring: Ready to drink, but will evolve beautifully over the next 5-7 years.
