Vintage 2022 | In older books often referred as the best rosé of France: Tavel. This wine of Grenache and Syrah gives frivolous raspberry in smell and good acidity/balance in taste. Wonderful. Paired with a leek bacon pie. — a year ago

The venerable Helene Garcin. Awesome... makes me realize how good 2014s are. So pleasant out of the gate but so much evolution yet to come — 6 years ago

Crafted by the Garcin family, a blend of mostly Merlot (80%) with Cab Franc, 100% new French oak aging. Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of Cherry & Plum, with notes of licorice, cinnamon & cedar, lively acidity with great mouthfeel. Fine tannins, still a bit tight, open nicely, long finish ending with toasty cedar, tobacco and earthy spice, should continue to age well. Nice! — 3 years ago

Rich and concentrated fruits are available in abundance here. intense flavors of blackberries and plums are present throughout along with clover spices. Fairly acidic, but I think it needs it to keep the structure tight.  — 4 years ago
