Striking wine for Summer!<\/h3>\n

\"TavelThe Lafont family has had a presence here in the Southern Rhone Valley since 1780. They created Domaine Lafont in Roc-Epine in 1970, and this exceptional Tavel Ros\u00e9 is part of their range.<\/p>\n

The domaine spreads across 74 hectares of land growing vines which produce 4 different appellations: Tavel, Lirac, C\u00f4tes du Rhone, and Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape. That is quite the accolade!<\/p>\n

Tavel is the Rh\u00f4ne\u2019s only appellation dedicated to ros\u00e9. This dark pink (or is it pale red?) wine is crisp and dry, so making it a great choice when well-chilled, as a pre-dinner sip on hot summer evenings.<\/p>\n

Famille Lafont Tavel Ros\u00e9 will likely convert those who have hitherto considered ros\u00e9 as wimpy and watery. This one has a much more robust colour \u2013 and character to go with that. It offers a full mouthfeel with plenty of red summer fruit and just a hint of spice.<\/p>\n

I consider this ros\u00e9 as a great all-rounder. One can start the evening with this and continue to the meal. It pairs well with Mediterranean dishes, all meats, and Thai curries and the like too.<\/p>\n

Famille Lafont Tavel Ros\u00e9 is a classy winner. Yes, it\u2019s all a matter of taste but it\u2019s a versatile summer wine at a reasonable price point, and available at Tesco.<\/p>\n
