Domaine de la Mordoree La Dame Rousse Tavel

In the glass

Aroma: wild strawberry, white peach, dried rose petal, garrigue, mineral

Palate: fresh cherry, raspberry, citrus zest, mineral freshness, clean dry finish

The reference Tavel from La Mordoree; a full-bodied, structured dry rose with vibrant red fruit, garrigue freshness, and remarkable depth for the style.

What it pairs with

• Bouillabaisse
  Full-bodied dry Tavel rose is the traditional Provencal accompaniment to fish stew.
• Grilled squid with garlic and herbs
  High acidity and mineral freshness cut through squid richness.
• Salade Nicoise
  Herb notes and red fruit character are natural companions to the classic salad.
• Tapenade on grilled bread with goat cheese
  Mineral freshness and red fruit balance the salt of tapenade and tang of cheese.
