Who makes it
Les Vignerons de Tavel is a cooperative associated with Tavel and Lirac. Its bottles include Tavel rosé and a separate Lirac red house brand under the Maison Renard name. The cooperative's Cave de Tavel was the first French wine cooperative inscribed as a national heritage site.
Where it grows
Tavel and Lirac are the place names attached to the range. Tavel appears on the two rosé wines, while Lirac appears on Maison Renard Lirac, the red wine. The labels separate the rosé wines from the red by place name within the cooperative's selection.
What they make
Les Lauzeraies Tavel is a deep pink rosé with mineral aromas and hints of undergrowth. Its palate is fruit driven and delicate, with hints of minerality and gentle persistence, followed by violets, roses, light spice and a generous mouthfeel.
Tavel Trésor des Sables is pale ruby in colour. It carries medium aromas of red cherry, watermelon, raspberry, orange marmalade, wet stone, cranberry and peach skin, followed by strawberry, raspberry, watermelon, wet stone, white blossom and beeswax on the palate.
