Chateau de Trinquevedel Tavel Rose (2025)
$24.00Price
Tasting NotesWinemaker's Profile: Displays a deep raspberry hue with limpid, subtle purple reflections. The nose is rich, complex, and aromatic, offering generous notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, and blackcurrant alongside subtle accents of orange blossom, garrigue herbs, aniseed, and gunflint. On the palate, it is full-bodied, structured, and vinous with balanced acidity, fine tannin structure, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Blend: A traditional Southern Rhône blend dominated by Grenache and supported by Cinsault, Clairette, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Bourboulenc. Critical Ratings: As a fresh release, official score reviews for the 2025 vintage are still rolling out across major print wine publications. However, importer Kermit Lynch highlights it as a dark, vinous classic that "commands the stage with its hearty presence", while previous vintages consistently earn 90–92 point marks from critics like Wine Enthusiast and Vinous, which frequently note it as one of the most reliable and elegant benchmark Tavel bottlings imported into the U.S. Winery Highlight: Established as a wine-producing estate by Eugène Demoulin in 1936—the exact year the Tavel A.O.C. was officially founded—Château de Trinquevedel remains a family-run benchmark for the region, currently farmed by fourth-generation winemaker Guillaume Demoulin.
