Tasting Notes
An emblematic cuvée in the image of Jean-Luc Thunevin, Bordeaux's "Bad Boy", offered in magnum format for even greater conviviality. This 2020 vintage boasts a deep, intense ruby color, heralding a rich, seductive wine. The nose reveals aromas of ripe red fruits such as redcurrant and cherry, accompanied by hints of blueberry, sweet spices and a touch of chocolate.
On the palate, the tannins are supple and silky, offering good structure and remarkable balance. The texture is velvety, almost gourmand, with a persistent, slightly spicy finish.

Terroir
An emblematic cuvée created by Jean-Luc Thunevin in the early 2000s, made from vines located on the Right Bank, in properties he supervises or advises. The grapes are harvested and vinified by the Thunevin team, with meticulous attention to detail to produce one of the most remarkable Bordeaux wines. The name and label have their origins in Robert Parker's comments about Jean-Luc Thunevin and his famous Château Valandraud, recognized as the first "garage wine" by Parker and Michel Bettane.
