DOM. THUNEVIN - CALVET LES DENTELLES: Roussillon's Finest

Hailing from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, the LES DENTELLES cuvée is a standout Côtes du Roussillon Villages PDO, born from the partnership of Jean-Luc Thunevin and Jean-Roger Calvet. Sourced from exceptionally old vines on challenging schist and clay-limestone slopes, this wine achieves a rare blend of concentration, elegance, and regional typicity.

Sommelier Notes

This blend of Grenache (50%), Syrah (30%), and Carignan (20%) is aged for 18 months in demi-muids and cement tanks, ensuring a seamless integration of fruit and structure.

• Aromatics: A complex nose of dark cherry, dried herbs (garrigue), black olive, and exotic spices.
• Structure: Full-bodied with a robust yet beautifully refined tannic profile. The 15% ABV is impressively balanced by the wine's concentration and a refreshing lift on the finish.

Service Recommendation

A wine of this calibre demands respect. Decant well in advance. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for up to 10 years.

• Classic Pairings: The ideal accompaniment to a Traditional Sunday Roast Beef, a rich Venison Casserole, or mature, hard British cheeses.
