A Tavel rosé!

Tavel

This 2016 Reserve des Chastelles was a delightful rosé, from the only Rhone AOC that makes only rosés. It was a blend of the flagship Tavel varieties: Grenache and Cinsault (60% and 20%, respectively), with another 20% of Syrah. True to Tavel form, there was reasonable structure and body present, but never overwhelming, like rosés made from Bordeaux grapes can be.
