Thunevin

Thunevin is often called “the godfather of the garagiste movement”, a wave of small Bordeaux producers, mostly in St-Emilion who, in the 1990s brought fresh attention to the Right bank, long in the shadows of the moneyed estates of the Left bank. Thunevin led the way shocking Bordeaux by winning fame and fortune producing a few hundred cases of Chateau Valandraud, a wine from unheralded vineyards in St.-Emilion that was fermented in a garage next to Thunevin’s house.
