Thunevin Calvet Cuvée Constance – Côtes Catalanes Blanc – White – 2023:

 

THUNEVIN – CALVET CONSTANCE BLANC: The Mineral Star of Roussillon

Introducing the Cuvée Constance Blanc, a vibrant and dry white wine from the acclaimed Domaine Thunevin-Calvet. This wine is the result of a partnership between Bordeaux icon Jean-Luc Thunevin (Château Valandraud) and Roussillon native Jean-Roger Calvet. It perfectly showcases the potential of the IGP Côtes Catalanes for world-class dry whites, crafted from old-vine Macabeu and Grenache Blanc grown on distinctive schist soils.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Pale, brilliant gold.
• Nose: Expressive aromas of lemon zest, white peach, and pear, underpinned by delicate white floral notes and a subtle hint of honey.
• Palate: The attack is crisp and fresh. The wine is round yet lively on the palate, striking a beautiful balance between ripe fruit and a vibrant, saline minerality. The finish is long, precise, and exceptionally fresh.

Pairing & Service

Serve chilled (54-57°F) to unlock its full complexity. This is the perfect wine for sophisticated appetizers and fresh, seafood-focused dishes. A brilliant, value-driven alternative to pricier whites.
