Thunevin Bad Boy AOC Bordeaux
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.
