E. Guigal Tavel 2016 (92 VM)
“Limpid orange. Vibrant, mineral-tinged aromas of red currant, raspberry, blood orange and pungent flowers show excellent delineation and minerally lift. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering concentrated red berry, bitter cherry and lavender pastille flavors and a hint of chalky minerality. Expands and deepens on the impressively long, juicy finish, leaving behind vibrant orange pith and smoky mineral notes. I suspect that this impressive Tavel will reward patience, and I’d serve it as if it were a lighter red rather than a classic pink wine.”

Tavel
The Guigal family has been working for decades in Tavel, and today specifically works with 6 growers to produce the traditional style of rosé the region is known for - deep fruit, full of spice you find in the reds of the area, structured, and substantial enough to age. Thank goodness this appellation across the river from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 100% dedicated to rosé, still produces wines of this full-bodied style!
