2010 | Thunevin-Calvet | Cotes du Roussillon Villages Les Trois Maries

Opaque and intense colour, pure nose, still young with masses of sweet black fruit, prune, cassis, new oak and spices. Balanced, rich and powerful style, layers of dark fruit, bitter chocolate, fine spices and a very long promising aftertaste.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The Thunevin and Calvet 2010 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Les Trois Marie represents, exceptionally, unassisted Grenache (from Maury), raised in a single foudre. There is an infectious juiciness to its confitured strawberry and black raspberry fruit, with accents of licorice, wormwood, vanilla and dark chocolate lending striking and seductive counterpoint on a polished palate and profound, metaphorically dark yet vibrant finish. These grapes with this vinification have resulted in a polish, clarity and energy that the other wines from this estate in 2010 don’t achieve. (Of course, there is the difficulty engendered by localized hail in Lesquerde that influences certain other cuvees. But I suspect that the use of large cask is also significant.)
