Located on the south bank of the Rhône river, in the department of the Gard, Tavel is the Grand Cru for rosé wines. It's a “gastronomic” rosé that can accompany varied dishes as it pairs nicely with meat and fish.
› DescriptionLocated on the right bank of the Rhône river in the department of the Gard, Tavel is classed as the Grand Cru of rosé wines. › SituationRight bank of the Rhône river › The vintageThe 2011 vintage is a vintage of contrasts. That is to say an unusually hot, dry spring followed by a wet and rainy beginning of July and then an Indian summer lasting until the end of October. Carefully sorting and destemming the grapes allowed for a great vintage particularly for the late harvest varieties. › TerroirDeposit of crumbly rocks and rolled pebbles. Clay and limestone soils similar to those of Châteauneuf du Pape. › Process
Bleeding after 12 hours of maceration in stainless steel. Fermentation at 18°C for 30 days. › Grapes

This is seriously good wine from an appellation that makes only Rosé and a premium producer who never misses the mark. Darker hued than many, this full-flavoured beauty offers a nose of strawberry and spice. It's substantially textured with good weight and structure sporting a lovely wash of red currant and ripe black berry laced with spiced black plum. It finishes dry, refreshing and lip-smacking good. • Note: ****(*)
Rose is a carefree wine but this one is complex is the most delightful way! Layers of rose petal, strawberry and sunshine. Love it!
