Note: Robert Parker 91/100, 15/20 + Bettane & Desseauve "Vin Plaisir" rating
Jean-Luc Thunevin's passionate venture on the edge of Roussillon, in partnership with Jean-Roger Calvet, the Constance cuvée was created in 2003 and is certainly one of the best representatives of the Côtes Catalanes. The 2006 vintage is rich, complex and delicious, something few local wines can claim! A resounding success...
