- TERROIR: Vineyards situated on sandy, clay, and galet stone soils in Tavel, contributing to the wine's complexity and minerality.
- VINIFICATION: Traditional vinification methods with temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve freshness and aromatic expression.
- AGING: Aged briefly in stainless steel tanks to maintain vibrancy and purity of fruit.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2023 'Cuvée des Lys' Rosé presents a darker pink hue, characteristic of Tavel wines. Aromas of ripe raspberry, cherry, and garrigue lead to a lush, medium-bodied palate with flavors of fresh raspberry, bitter cherry, and blood orange, complemented by a hint of honeysuckle. The finish is long, chewy, and precise, delivering strong mineral cut and lingering florality.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: This rosé pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, tapenade, and sheep's milk cheeses, making it a versatile choice for late summer dining.
