Despite a very cold month of January, the coldest of the last five years, thanks to a higher temperatures early February, late March, as in 2014, the future vintage seems to be early. 2017 is the second warmest vintage of the last 20 years, after 2003 but before 2015 and 2009. Rainfalls in July, August and September is only 17 mm. Exceptionally healthy, the 2017 harvest started in the first days of September. Due to a lack of grapes, some vintners sometimes ended very quickly. 2017 vintage, the smallest harvest of the last forty years.
This rosé wine is bright with a fuchsia pink color. A rich fruity nose showing nice little red berries notes including raspberry, and strawberry. Fresh and balanced on the palate, rounded, then offering a deep finish with grapefruit notes. A Tavel rosé that is extremely pleasant, refreshing, and can be enjoyed on every occasion.
