Bordeaux excellence, Saint-Émilion heritage, and modern French icon wines
Based in Bordeaux, in the prestigious Saint-Émilion area, Thunevin is a winery that represents one of the most influential and unconventional success stories in modern French winemaking. Known for redefining traditional Bordeaux dynamics, the project combines terroir excellence with a bold, contemporary vision.
Founded by Jean-Luc Thunevin, the winery gained international recognition through its pioneering role in the “garage wine” movement — a philosophy centered on small-scale production, meticulous attention to detail, and uncompromising quality.
The vineyards are located on carefully selected plots, where clay-limestone soils and optimal exposure create ideal conditions for producing structured, elegant, and long-lived wines. Merlot plays a central role, supported by other classic Bordeaux varieties, contributing to wines with depth, richness, and balance.
In the cellar, Thunevin follows a precise and quality-driven approach, combining traditional methods with modern techniques to enhance concentration, texture, and aromatic complexity. Each wine is crafted with a focus on expression, consistency, and aging potential.
Thunevin wines represent a benchmark for modern Bordeaux wines — powerful, refined, and terroir-driven — where innovation and tradition come together to create wines of international prestige and identity.
