Origin
Visiting Roussillon in 2000, Jean-Luc Thunevin discovers wonderful terroirs and is seduced by the region. At the same time, he meets Jean-Roger Calvet, a local winemaker.
They decide to buy a few hectares of vineyards together and they found the Domaine Thunevin-Calvet, located in Maury on beautiful terroirs of black schists.
Notes
Les Dentelles offers up hints of mint tea, cracked pepper and ripe cherries on the nose. On the palate, it's crisp and fresh, marrying bright red and purple fruit with hints of fresh herbs on one end of the spectrum and dark chocolate on the other.
