I buckled a bit under the charm of this glowing, dark rosé. Petit’s Tavel is a heartbreaker, the kind of soulful wine that tastes almost fragile, as if one sip would shatter its weightless structure. But then it lingers, floats across your palate, hums a tune, and slakes your thirst.

Great winemakers, great terroirs, there is never any hurry. And I no longer buy into this idea of “peak” maturity. Great winemakers, great terroirs, their wines offer different pleasures at different ages.
