Thunevin Calvet les 3 Marie - Côtes du Roussillon Villages - Red - 2020 :

 

The Thunevin-Calvet Collaboration: Côtes du Roussillon Villages

The "Les 3 Marie" cuvée represents a masterful partnership between Jean-Luc Thunevin, the famed Bordeaux consultant, and Jean-Roger Calvet, a Roussillon expert. Holding the prestigious Côtes du Roussillon Villages AOP status, this red wine is a stunning showcase of the region's schist soils and sun-drenched climate. It’s a concentrated, yet elegant, example of fine Southern French winemaking.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep garnet, almost black at the core.
• Aromas: Intense nose of ripe black fruit (mulberry, blackcurrant), wild Mediterranean herbs (garrigue), black pepper, and subtle notes of licorice.
• Taste: The palate is rich, full, and velvety, with well-integrated, substantial tannins. The wine maintains a beautiful balance between its Mediterranean concentration and a refreshing, mineral length on the finish.

Food Pairing & Decanting

For best results, this superb red should be decanted for a minimum of one and a half hours. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Pair with slow-cooked meats or richly flavoured game for an exceptional culinary match.
