Seduced by the quality of terroirs in Roussillon, Thunevin teamed up with a local vigneron and true man of the soil, Jean-Roger Calvet, and in 2000 bought a few hectares of vines located on Maury’s magnifi-cent terroirs of black schist. As he says, “Why invest the other side of the world when there are wonderful old vines, inexpensive land and awesome countryside on the doorstep?”
