2010 Tavel Rosé, La Dame Rousse, Domaine De La Mordoree

Berrys' Notes

Tavel Rose, La Dame Rousse, Domaine De La Mordoree

Tavel Rosé, once so popular, seems not to have benefited from the revitalised interest in Rosé wines in general, perhaps because it is deemed stylistically to be a little clumsy and even sometimes a little foursquare.

The Delorme brothers produce two Rosé wines to challenge this perception, but without losing sight of the features which brought the region and style popularity in the first place. Made from a tapestry of varieties (Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Bourboulenc and Clairette since you asked), the 2010 has no shortage of complexity.

A rich rose in colour, the wine’s aromatics continue the floral theme, adding notes of raspberry and youthful cherry. The palate is round and generous, with the red berried fruit to the fore; it will be a good match for white meat, terrines and even fusion cuisine. Unusually I would suggest that this wine will still be at the top of its game all the way through the summer of 2011 and even in the warmer months of 2012, such is its inherent class and complexity!
