Jean-Luc Thunevin Bad Boy Syrah - Vin de France - Red - 2022 :

 

The Bad Boy Syrah by Jean-Luc Thunevin: A Bordeaux Statement

From the renowned 'Bad Boy' of Saint-Émilion, Jean-Luc Thunevin, comes a wine that defies regional norms: the BAD BOY SYRAH. Labelled as a humble Vin de France, this wine delivers an extraordinary experience, showcasing the intensity and modern winemaking focus of the 'garage wine' movement.

Sommelier's Tasting Notes

A striking wine in the glass, with a deep, nearly opaque purple colour. It’s an ambitious Syrah that manages to be both rich and elegant.

• Aroma: Rich black cherry and mulberry fruit dominates, complemented by savory notes of black pepper, liquorice, and a touch of violet, characteristic of premium Syrah.
• Taste: Full and dense on the palate. It has a powerful core of dark fruit, beautifully managed by fine, velvety tannins. The structure is reminiscent of a Northern Rhône, but with the plushness of Thunevin’s signature style.
• Mouthfeel: Smooth, round, and concluding with a long, satisfying, spicy warmth.

Food Matching & Enjoyment

This full-bodied red demands hearty, robust dishes. Serve slightly below room temperature (16°C) to highlight its freshness.

• Food Matches: Superb with a classic Roast Lamb with Rosemary, Beef Wellington, or a traditional Steak and Kidney Pie.
• Storage: Built to last, but perfectly approachable in its youth.
