Thunevin Calvet 'Cuvée Constance' Côtes du Roussillon 2019
Vintage Character
Calvet-Thunevin 'Cuvée Constance' 2019 is a Côtes du Roussillon-Villages red that captures the sunlit power of southern France with notable polish. The 2019 vintage was widely regarded as strong in Roussillon: a hot, dry growing season reduced yields and concentrated the fruit, giving the wines depth, ripeness, and firm structure. Drawn from the rugged foothills of the Agly Valley sector, where schist, limestone, and poor stony soils are common, this Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah blend reflects a landscape shaped by intense light, Mediterranean winds, and naturally low-vigour vineyards.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The wine opens with ripe blackberry, black cherry, violet, and wild herbs, followed by hints of black pepper, licorice, cocoa, and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate it is full-bodied and generous, with dense dark fruit, medium-high tannins, and enough freshness to keep the texture lively rather than heavy; the finish is long, savoury, and gently spicy. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded it 91 points, underscoring the wine’s balance of richness and structure. It pairs especially well with herb-crusted lamb, duck breast with olive tapenade, or grilled lamb skewers.
Winery Background
Calvet-Thunevin is the collaboration between Jean-Roger Calvet of Roussillon and Jean-Luc Thunevin of Saint-Émilion, the latter famed for his pioneering “garage wine” spirit at Château Valandraud. Their project in the south focuses on old-vine Mediterranean varieties, low yields, and careful fruit selection to translate Roussillon’s raw intensity into a more refined, cellar-worthy style. Hand-harvesting and plot-by-plot vinification are central to the approach, with élevage designed to build texture without masking the region’s garrigue-scented personality. That blend of local knowledge and modern precision is what makes Cuvée Constance one of the partnership’s signature wines.
