Rose Wine from Rhône Valley, France Corne Loup Tavel represents the pinnacle of the rose pyramid quality wise that can be achieved in the Southern Rhone. The town of Tavel has been famous for its rose wine since the time of the Popes in Avignon (1300’s). Produced from a blend of Grenache, Cinsualt, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault and Carignan, the wine comes from a famous sub-parcel called the Plateau de Vallongue between Tavel and Lirac AOC’s.
“Tavel is often called the rosé for red wine drinkers. The Corne Loup Rosé is pale red with a copper-orange tinge. It shows a zesty, spicy bouquet of Grenache fruit, and the palate delivers a solid punch of strawberry, red cherry and watermelon, finishing clean and long.”
