Tavel
Also known as: AOC Tavel
The region of the world's most powerful rosé, producing dark, complex, full-bodied rosés with ageing potential that compete with light reds.
Tavel is serious rosé. Located in the southern Rhône, near Châteauneuf, it produces deep red-coloured, powerful rosés with tannin and structure. It is not a summer wine: it is a complex wine for ageing.
