Domaine Thunevin-Calvet - Côtes du Roussillon Cuvée Constance 2018

3.9/5 (9 reviews)

"Constance, a real cream!

"Rich and creamy with dark berries, wet stones, tile, white pepper and chocolate on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, with soft tannins and notes of dark fruit and chocolate in the pulpy, juicy finish. Drink now. (James Suckling 2022)

Domaine Thunevin-Calvet - Côtes du Roussillon Cuvée Constance 2017

3.8/5 (41 reviews)

" It's hard to believe that an entry-level wine from a Roussillon estate can be this good. The 2017 Cuvée Constance shows a bit of the herbaceous side of Carignan, but here it adds just a bit of freshness and gives way to raspberry aromas while bringing notes of roses and tea leaves. It's medium- to full-bodied with silky yet firm tannins that suggest a few years to mellow, and plenty of length on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2019)

Calvet-Thunevin - Les Dentelles 2017

3/5 (3 reviews)

"Big sister of the Constance vintage".

"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan, Les Dentelles 2017 offers notes of mint tea, cracked pepper and ripe cherries on the nose. On the palate, it's crisp and fresh, marrying bright red fruits with notes of fresh herbs on one end of the spectrum and dark chocolate on the other." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Joe Czerwinski)

Domaine Thunevin-Calvet - Cuvée Constance 2016

3.7/5 (33 reviews)

"A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan aged exclusively in concrete tanks, the 2016 Cuvée Constance is a thing of beauty. Quite floral, full of cherries and raspberries. Full-bodied, supple and creamy on the palate, this is a beautiful, ripe, sexy material that lingers deliciously on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Joe Czerwinski)

Domaine Thunevin-Calvet - Cuvée Constance 2015

4/5 (27 reviews)

"The 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Cuvée Constance is the estate's entry-level red, and it's already a beauty to buy by the case. Black raspberry, cassis, pepper and wood fire emerge from this wildly charming cuvée, which boasts ample fruit and texture, and a superb finish." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)

Domaine Thunevin-Calvet - Cuvée Constance 2012

3.9/5 (16 reviews)

"Cuvée Constance is a blend of equal parts Grenache and Carignan, half from the estate's own vineyards and half from purchased grapes. All aged in concrete tanks, it offers a supple, pure and harmonious profile, with intense aromas of black cherry, spice, horsehair and licorice coming through the glass. Bottled just 2 weeks before the tasting, it nevertheless showed plenty of substance, silky tannins and a very good length on the finish. Drink over the next 3-4 years". (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)

Domaine Thunevin-Calvet - Cuvée Constance 2010

3.4/5 (63 reviews)

Note: Robert Parker 90-91+/100
" The 2008 offered a great deal of dynamism, but this 2010 surpasses it, and with its expression on typical schist of stone and smoke, it also surpasses the 2007 ..." (Robert Parker - June 2011). With its beautiful aromas of red and black fruits, its mineral touch and its rich body, Constance remains, vintage after vintage, always a success and is one of the best value for money wines in the region!

Domaine Thunevin-Calvet - Cuvée Constance 2008

3.7/5 (39 reviews)

Note: Robert Parker 90/100, Gault Millau 16/20
" Beautiful, elegant nose of sweet, fresh fruit with redcurrant, blueberry, wild strawberry and raspberry. On the palate, it's fresh, dense and powerful, with well-structured tannins ..." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2011 - Gault Millau) " As with previous vintages, this cuvée is a sure bet " (Robert Parker - June 2011). Vintage after vintage, this consistently successful cuvée is one of the best value for money wines in the region!

Domaine Calvet-Thunevin - Cuvée Constance 2006

4/5 (2 reviews)

Note: Robert Parker 91/100, 15/20 + mention Vin Plaisir Bettane & Desseauve
Jean-Luc Thunevin's passionate foray into the Roussillon region, in association with Jean-Roger Calvet, created Cuvée Constance in 2003, is certainly one of the finest representatives of Côtes Catalanes. In 2006, it reveals a rich, complex, gourmet register that few vins de pays can boast! A success story...
