Note: Robert Parker 91/100, 15/20 + “Vin Plaisir” designation from Bettane & Desseauve
A passionate venture by Jean-Luc Thunevin on the outskirts of Roussillon, in partnership with Jean-Roger Calvet, the Constance cuvée was created in 2003 and is certainly one of the finest examples of the Côtes Catalanes. The 2006 vintage reveals a rich, complex, and indulgent character—a quality few regional wines can boast! A true success...
