"Domaine La Genestière, established in 1930, one of the oldtimers in Tavel, was acquired in 1994 by Jean-Claude and Raphael Garcin. They also own the Saint-Anthelme, Les Ramières and Longval estates producing Tavel, Lirac, Côtes du Rhône and Pays du Gard wines. They produce three rosés here: The 2004 Domaine La Genestière Cuvée Tradition Tavel, light salmon colour, nose of strawberries and rose petals, mouth evolves gradually from red berries with a slight touch of white pepper to a dry pleasant acidity. The 2004 Domaine La Genestière Cuvée Raphael Tavel, intense salmon colour, aroma of strawberries and raspberries, mouth of strawberry jam with a warm, slightly tannic and peppery final note. And finally one of those rare Lirac rosés, the 2004 Domaine La Genestière Cuvée Lirac Rosé, light purple color, rich bouquet of fruits and a slowly developing strawberry flavour. Unlike the Tavels the Lirac rosé is produced using the saignée method; it is less complex than the Tavels, rather crisp and fresh; a delightful summer wine for a light meal, like a Pizza Provençale. Retail prices at the cave are around Euro 8. Directions: In the village turn left after the Auberge de Tavel and follow the signs.
