Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted July 17th, 2018. Colour deep pink. Legs medium. Aromas and flavours of, orange peel, tangerine, pink grapefruit. Taste, dry, light mouthfeel, fruity, mouthwatering, fresh. Finish medium. A classic rose wine. Big fan. Try it with, charcuterie, or boiled crab, or a salad Nicoise. Tavel the French home of the iconic Rose. Nice wine from the Domaine. If you can find it try the Chateau Tavel.
Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Dark ruby red in colour with faint aromas of raspberry. The acidity dances on your tongue with light flavours of cranberry and raspberry and a smooth finish.

This is a very well balanced crowd pleasing rosé that could be great for your next brunch or would be a great easy drinking wine that you could sip this one on a back deck on a hot summer day.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This wine has beautiful, vibrant colour and flavour as well. Aromas of ripe strawberry, watermelon, and a hint of lime. Lots of fruit on the palate, with medium+ acidity, and a lengthy finish showing some citrus hints. Pair with tuna crudo or any other seafood.
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Floral, strawberry and raspberry notes with nice crisp acidity throughout. Pair with shellfish. Tasted July 2018.




Natalie's Review

Domaine Des Carteresses Tavel 2017, Rhône A.C., France: Field fresh raspberries greet you on the nose followed by some watermelon and red grapefruit. This is truly liquid refreshment, with a lovely sunset thrown into the glass as extra. This is a wide-ranging and all-embracing rose that will please many people, but especially you.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
