LES EGLANTIERS TAVEL 2014 AC |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BROTTE |
Bright reddish pink colour. Slightly spicy, ripe plum-apple nose. Crisp, fairly dry, medium-light bodied, plum-red apple flavours with a crisp, unoaked, very faintly peppery finish. Has 14% alcohol and only 4 g/L residual sugar. OK but seems to be missing the charm that I often associate with a good Tavel. |

LCBO Note |
Status |
|
Tavel, one of the Côtes du Rhône's 16 crus, became an AC in 1937. The only Rhône AC to produce exclusively rosé, its elegant and intense Grenache-based wines are considered a benchmark expression for the style. |
