Tavel: The Forgotten King of Rosé

Tavel, a small village nestled in the Southern Rhône Valley of France, has a rich history of producing some of the finest rosé wines in the world. Known as the 'king of rosé' and the 'rosé of kings', Tavel has been producing high-quality rosé since the 14th century. However, in recent years, Tavel has been largely forgotten as the rosé trend has taken off, with consumers opting for pale, generic rosés. But Tavel is not just any rosé, it is a wine that 'bleeds sunset hues of coral, magenta and crimson' and has a 'lusty and complex' flavor profile.With a unique production process that involves extended maceration on grape skins, Tavel has a 'textural quality that’s completely unique' and a 'structural foundation for longevity'. This is a wine that can be enjoyed year-round, regardless of season or climate.
