Chateau la Genestiere Tavel Rosé

Chateau la Genestiere Tavel Rosé

___

Originally established in 1930, the 40-hectare estate of Château la Genestière was acquired by Jean-Claude Garcin in 1944 and worked lovingly by father and son for many years. Jean-Claude painstakingly worked to improve the property and increased its reputation in the region. The centerpiece of the domaine’s production became the Tavel Rosé, formerly known as “Cuvée Raphael” after Jean-Claude’s son. The property was purchased in 2015 by Christian Latouche, owner of two domaines in Les Baux-de-Provence. With his great understanding of rosé wines and respect for the Château la Genestière and the Tavel appellation, M. Latouche continues working in the great Tavel tradition carried on by M. Garcin.

Brilliant shade of crimson and magenta. The nose is delicate with notes of raspberries and rose petals that evolve into nuanced aromas of red fruits and flowers with hint of white pepper. The young wine is full on the palate with a bracing, mineral-driven finish.
