Reviews and Ratings

Sandra Smith rated this wine as 100/100 with the following review:

Much better last year. Flat and overpowering this year
Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

an amazing pairing with John's unbelieveable fishsoup with fish sausage - pair made in heaven!
Tavel Rosé was the favoured wine of The Sun King, Louis XIV of France (1638-1715). Now you’ll look bright for serving it at your table. Remarkably robust. Made with mostly Grenache with Cinsaut in support. Aromas feature strawberry, Asian pear, candy apple, sour cherry and a hint of earth. Serious, dry rosé with fairly impressive oomph to the mid-palate and the tangy, flavourful finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

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.
