2019 | Calvet | Reserve de Saint Jacques

Deep brilliant ruby ​​color. A very elegant bouquet of red fruits with a hint of spices. On the roof of the mouth, a round and velvety attack. A well-balanced wine, with a long, fruity and spicy finish.

Producer Information

Calvet is a French wine merchant/négociant firm that has an extensive catalogue of French wines, with a primary focus on producing value wine from Bordeaux. It makes blended and varietal wines from many of the significant French and international varieties, notably, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Beyond Bordeaux, Calvet bottles wine from designated appellations in the Rhône Valley, Beaujolais, Burgundy, the Loire Valley, Alsace, Languedoc-Roussillon and the South West wine region. The company was founded by Jean-Marie Calvet in Tain l'Hermitage in 1818 and soon expanded to Bordeaux, establishing itself with warehouse and an office in the city proper in 1849. It built a château in the Médoc in 1870. In 1889, Calvet Beaune was officially set up in Burgundy. Having established itself throughout France, Calvet made its focus on Bordeaux, which remains the largest segment of its modern portfolio. It makes wines from several of Bordeaux's more prestigious AOCs, including Saint-Émilion, Margaux, and Sauternes, but its signature wines are value-priced red Bordeaux AOC. On top of its own-label wines, Calvet distributes a number of wines from other Bordeaux châteaux that carry their house names on the label. The négociant has changed hands multiple times in its history – at one time being a subsidiary of the now-defunct major beverage company Allied Domecq. In the mid-2000s Calvet was bought by Alsace-based wine giant, Les Grans Chais de France. Its wines are currently exported to more than 110 countries.
