Tavel (Cru – Tavel)
Our rose wine Cru – Tavel : Les Jardins de Tavel
The wine of Tavel is historically famous. Philip IV (« Philippe le Bel ») is said to have travelled through Tavel on one of his tours of the kingdom. He was offered a glass of wine, which he emptied without getting off his horse and afterwards proclaimed Tavel the only good wine in the world. Tavel achieved AOC status in 1936 when this system was introduced.
