DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Prieuré de Montézargues was a working monastery as early as 1199. Today its vineyard is a single 84-acre parcel in Tavel, in France's southern Rhône, sheltered from the Mistral wind by the Montagne Noire range. The sandy soils are covered with galets, the large round stones left by ancient glaciers.
The 2023 is 50% Grenache with Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Syrah and Clairette. Grapes are picked by hand early in the morning, pressed directly, fermented cool and aged four months on fine lees in stainless steel. It is 13.5% alcohol. Tavel is a fuller style of rosé, and this one is bright cherry pink with yellow peach, red currant and blood orange on the nose, then cherry, orange, almond and a hint of pastry cream. Medium to full bodied, with a long finish. A rosé with real substance.
Serve at 50 to 54°F in a white wine glass. Try it with seared tuna, grilled fish or a tomato salad.
