Origin
The idea of calling this cuvée "Bad Boy" came from a nickname that Robert Parker gave to Jean–Luc Thunevin. The American critic regularly called Jean-Luc Thunevin "Bordeaux’s black sheep" or "Saint Emilion’s Bad Boy".
This comic styled label plays a huge part in the wine’s success. It was created by JLT’s friend from many years Eric Soulat.
Thunevin
Located in Saint Emilion, Jean-Luc Thunevin and his wife Murielle Andraud creates the world famous Château Valandraud and also runs a successful wine négociant business.
Jean-Luc also goes under the nick name "the Bad Boy of Bordeaux" for is unconventional but yet successful style of Bordeaux wine.
