2024 Tavel “La Combe des Rieu”

Gaël Petit
Discount Eligible $37.00
AT CART MAX

While you can find thirst-quenching, strawberry-hued rosés in Tavel, you can also find stunning, light-hued reds in the style of this cuvée from Gaël Petit. It’s rare to taste southern Rhône Grenache blends from old vines and serious terroirs with this kind of lighter weight. I go crazy for them because of their unusual and striking combination of alluring traits: depth and soul inherent in the terroir and vine age; spicy earthiness from the grape varieties; and an otherworldly gracefulness and joie de vivre that come from the relatively short skin contact and gentle vinification. If you’ve read about the Tavels of old, the ones that made wine lovers speak reverently of this appellation as one of France’s greatest, this is what they were talking about.
