The Bad Boy, an original cuvée, was crafted by the renowned Jean-Luc Thunevin in the 2000s. It is produced from a meticulous selection of right bank wines, sourced from estates that Thunevin either manages or advises. Grapes are harvested and vinified under the watchful eye of Thunevin's experienced winemaking team. The cuvée's name originates from American critic Robert Parker, who often referred to Jean-Luc as Bordeaux's "black sheep" or "Saint Emillion's Bad Boy." Thunevin rose to prominence during the Right Bank garagiste movement of the 90s with the success of his garage-produced Chateau Valandraud. He produces the Bad Boy Cuvée with the same passion and innovation that helped him establish one of the most iconic cult wines from Bordeaux's right bank. Composed of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the wine has a fragrant bouquet of dark cherries, bergamot, and subtle stony scents. The palate is led by dark red fruits like mulberry and red plum. This medium-bodied wine has slightly coarse tannins and a pleasant touch of spice on the finish.

The 2020 Chateau Olivier from Bordeaux, France is a standout vintage that truly showcases the skill and expertise of this renowned winery. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and cherry, with subtle hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a complex and well-structured tannin profile. The deep, ruby red color is a true reflection of the ripe and concentrated fruit that has gone into this blend, creating a wine that is both elegant and powerful. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit and a touch of spice. This 2020 vintage from Chateau Olivier is a prime example of the exceptional quality that Bordeaux is known for and is a must-try for any wine lover.
