Friday, February 28, 2014. SOS UK and Belgium! With Grappe, our software system, we are able to do a lot of analysing and as we have just finished with our latest balance sheet (very nicely balanced) I tend to check to see with which countries we are doing the most business. Once again this year, France is in first place with 36% of our turnover however the numbers for the UK (2%), Belgium (1%) and Russia (1%) leave a lot to be desired. Thursday, February 27, 2014. Neal Martin and the 2010s. This years f...

Jean-Luc Thunevin's Blog: Primeurs 2013!..
http://thunevin.blogspot.com/2014/03/primeurs-2013.html
Friday, March 28, 2014. And so it begins with Château Pontet Canet with lower quantities and a price that hasn't changed. Visits and dinners, with journalists of course, but also with importers who have come to find out what the vintage is worth and to taste our other vintages already available. There are still excellent 2011s and 2012s for those wanting to skip the 2013 Bordeaux. 2013 looks like an excellent vintage in the Roussillon. I like your blog. August 27, 2014 at 10:28:00 AM GMT 2.

Saturday, March 29, 2014. The United States were in the place of honor yesterday with us. After the visit, a tasting of a few wines by our group centered around one of our oldest american customers, visit of our historical winery and a meal at home with Virginie de Valandraud 2009 and Valandraud 2004 to accompany an asparagus soup, sirloin with fries, comté and strawberries with raspberries flavored with vanilla from Tahiti followed by macaroons from Fermigier. Then a tour and tasting of our wines by.

Jean-Luc Thunevin's Blog: Vinipro
http://thunevin.blogspot.com/2014/03/vinipro.html
Friday, March 7, 2014. First Vinipro salon, the next is planned for in two years time, as a sort of alternative to Vinexpo, except that only wines from the South West are represented. There were a lot of people on Tuesday and they included good contacts, because of course we have a lot of good friends, students and suppliers who stop by but the aim is to find new customers and I think that we did better than at Prowein 2013.

Saturday, June 30, 2012. I will be soon leaving for Osaka, Japan on July 3 and 4, then Tokyo July 4/5/6 and Hong Kong on July 7/8 for futures tastings organized by one of my Japanese distributors and two retailers in Hong Kong. At noon last Monday, I had lunch at La Puce for Pierrot's birthday, 76 years old. It was a family lunch and the opportunity to see La Puce again who is now 90 years old and still full of energy and likes to tell stories to die. of laughter! Labels: Its in the Air. Our guest house,...

Thursday, November 22, 2012. In the same week I've had a trip to Munich and a trip to London! I wonder now why I had never been to Munich before. Our client, who owns restaurants and hotels also has a wine trading activity to supply other restaurants and has found a specific clientele through their establishments and their beautiful shop. Quality distribution, an uncommon interest for wine, insatiable curiosity, all in all a perfect moment with a rare type of customer. This time the tasting was for the s...

Friday, August 31, 2012. Here are the bottles we were served for dinner and paired with a very good meal, great atmosphere and 2008 Bordeaux magnums. Château Rouget, very well made. I always believed that this wine is undervalued; it’s the value of a Pomerol, a complete wine and still holding great promises…. Château La Conseillante with its unique style and Haut -Carles, confirmation of the high level of this wine which should also be the case for the great 2011. Saturday, August 25, 2012. The current o...

Thursday, May 24, 2012. I will soon be in Hong Kong for Vinexpo Asia-Pacific, at the Hong Kong Convention Centre stand J49, with some of my employees and to meet some of our clients, a few prospects and be productive. In the meantime and while waiting for the end of the futures campaign and the last releases, we tasted this morning Compassant 2004, Constance 2008 Thunevin-Calvet, Dentelles 2007 Thunevin- Calvet and Griffe de Cap d’Or 2011. I am glad that our Franco-American friend liked them! The Futures...

Friday, January 31, 2014. Roussillon, could do better! David Schildknecht rates nearly 500 wines from the Roussillon for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. Our Cuvée Constance Thunevin-Calvet 2011 which was given 91, and the 2012 recieved 90 with some nice comments, will now be easier to sell in New York or Berlin with its value/rating/price ratio being very favourable. (18 dollars in the US). Thursday, January 30, 2014. A meal and wine tasting with a red Burgundy whose name I don't recall, Valandraud 2010, ...
