Our second dry rosé comes from the Tavel, France region. Known for its mouthfeel, weight, and fruit, these rosé wines are quite different from the Provence rosé wine we tasted previously. Join us as we discuss rosé wine color, how to pair these rosé wines with food, and what makes a Tavel rosé a “Rosé that Delights.” Cheers!
Links for things mentioned in this episode:
- Les Lauzeraies Tavel 2023 Rosé –> the wine we tasted today
- Will you like this wine? This is in the “Roses that Delight” category with less acidity (sourness) and more red fruit flavors. It’s a sipping-pool-side, approachable dry rosé wine. It does have substantial alcohol, so if you prefer higher alcohol wines, this is the type of rosé to try.
- Our ideas for food pairings with this wine:
- Shellfish
- Oysters
- Crab
- Sea Scallops
- Ahi Tuna Steak
- Sushi
- Rosé for Thanksgiving Meal
- Roasted Chicken
- Deli Sandwich (Turkey Sandwich)
- Hummus

Additionally, both of us are winemaking professionals, so we do not get paid for tasting wine. All opinions expressed here on our podcast are those of ours alone.
