Jean Calvet’s passion for wine was his destiny: born in 1799 in a small village near Tain l’Hemitage, he grew up there, in one of the most significant French wine area: the Rhône valley.
1889 – Jean Calvet, the founder’s great-grandson, sets up Calvet Beaune in BURGUNDY.
1870 – Octave Calvet, the founder’s son, takes over the company and participates in the expansion of Calvet.
1823 – Jean Marie Calvet sets up in the heart of BORDEAUX, in the ‘quartier des Chartrons’, the bustling center for the wine trade.
1818 – Jean Marie Calvet, passioned by wine and born in Tain l’Hermitage, Rhone Valley.
During his childhood, he gave very often a hand to his father, Pierre Calvet, in the family-owned vineyards instead of playing with boys of his age. He confirmed his passion for wine at the age of 19 when he decided to set up the Calvet Company and travelled through France to learn from each wine area and to become an uncontested wine expert.
