The Tavel “Beaurevoir” by Michel Chapoutier is a rosé produced in the southern Rhône Valley, in the area between Avignon and Pont du Gard. The Tavel Appellation has the peculiarity of producing only rosé wines and has represented for centuries the benchmark and absolute excellence in this particular type. The rosés of Tavel are an essential model and still today remain faithful to tradition, with important labels, featuring pleasantly fruity, rich, and persistent aromas. It is an interpretation of rosé wine made with pure Grenache noir, with a decidedly gastronomic vocation, which clearly differs from the thin and pale versions of nearby Provence.
The rosé Tavel “Beaurevoir” is produced by one of the largest and most important Domaines in the Rhône region. The Chapoutier family has been cultivating vines since the early 1800s, but the real revolution occurred in the 1980s when Michel Chapoutier decided to give a turn to the activity, embracing the practices of organic and biodynamic agriculture in the utmost respect for the territory, with the intent to to produce expressions capable of enhancing the characteristics of the grapes and the soils of origin. Today, the Domaine manages over 360 hectares of vineyards in the areas of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Hermitage, Tavel, and other regions of the lower Rhône, with a very wide range of wines. However, the rosés of Tavel remain an excellence that has resisted trends, affirming a classic style, now recognized and loved all over the world.
The Tavel "Beaurevoir" produced by Michel Chapoutier comes from soils rich in pebbles, with the presence of limestone and red clays, typical of the Tavel area. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, with a skin maceration lasting 24-36 hours, and before bottling, it matures for several months in steel. It presents itself with an intense pink color, with bright ruby reflections. The bouquet is rich and fragrant with aromas of ripe cherry, currant, small berries, fresh almond, and soft spices. The taste is broad and satisfying, with juicy and harmonious fruit, pleasantly leading to a persistent finish with balanced freshness.
