Brotte Tavel Rosè
An elegant favorite among kings, popes and famous writers throughout history. And with good reason. Its robust body of red fruits and elegant dryness make it an irresistible choice on a sunny day. One of the few rosé wines that benefit from aging– but with a taste this tempting, letting it go unopened is next to impossible.
