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.

Vinous
The 2012 Clos Badon is bold, dark and enticing, with striking aromatics to match the intense, voluptuous fruit. Black cherry, plum, crème de cassis and sweet spices are laced together in an open-knit, supple Saint Emilion with tons of near-term appeal. One of the hidden gems of the vintage, the Clos Badon should drink well for at least another handful of years. The blend is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
