A lighter-styled Tavel that still shows the richness of the appellation, the 2013 Tavel Les Eglantiers Rose offers impressively pure, lively aromas and flavors of freshly picked strawberries, flowers, and hints of citrus to go with a medium-bodied, supple and nicely textured feel on the palate. Beautifully made and well-balanced, enjoy it over the coming year. www.brotte.com Importer: Touton Selection, New York, NY; tel. (212) 255-0674
