Clos Badon Thunevin 2012 is a full-bodied Right Bank Bordeaux that presents a direct expression of its Saint-Émilion terroir. This vintage combines 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc. On the nose, one may find a medley of black cherry, plum and hints of spice, indicative of its Merlot dominance. The palate reveals a balance of fruit and acidity, designed for early consumption but with potential for further development. Notably, Clos Badon is crafted by Jean-Luc Thunevin, a prominent figure in the evolution of modern Saint-Émilion wines.
