Tavel rosé 2000 & 2001

Outstanding rose from the premier rose AOC in France. Vibrant raspberry and peppery flavors mark this lovely effort. Offers ample refreshment but with enough intensity to match hearty fare.

Robert Parker, Wines of the Rhone Valley: "One of the best wines of the appellation, a fresh, vivid, medium- to full-bodied rose that is crisp, austere, and flavorful." 13000 cases per year (2000 cases for the US) on 25 hectares. This Cru Village is allowed to make only rose. J et R Selections is the primary US importer.
