Domaine de Tavernel - Vin de Pays du Gard
Thanks to Gerard, our intrepid wine connoisseur and sniffer hound, for finding this rather splendid, if somewhat functional winery (no fancy tasting rooms or guided tours here). Run by Denise Compagne and her father, this is one of the tightest ships we've come across in terms of attention to quality through all stages of production. A true organic and vegetarian wine which means the wine is free to reveal its true flavours and, for me, no hangover (usually caused by added sulfites).
These wines are truly exceptional. One vintage of the 'Millesime' was declared in 2001 (2004 is next - to be released this year) and it immediately scooped a Gold medal in the Paris Concours de Vin. The current vintages are equally good. The Red is our personal 'everyday' wine and there is always a bottle or two of the Rose and the White in the fridge.
Red - Domaine de Tavernel 2004 (75cl) Red - Domaine de Tavernel 2004 (75cl)
Very full and still quite tight. One of our customers decribed this wine 'like a rose bud that opens up into a rich red flower'. I can only agree and recommend opening at least an hour before drinking or ideally, double decanting (into a jug, then back into the bottle). 


Price:   £6.50 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
Red - Mas Petit Azegat 2004 (75cl) Red - Mas Petit Azegat 2004 (75cl)
Their new wine, the Mas Petit Azégat, is an excellent and very typical Rhône red. This also has orrganic status, and is well-suited to roast dinners (particularly lamb).

Awarded Gold Medal, Paris 2005 (Concours Général Agricole). 


Price:   £6.50 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
White - Domaine de Tavernel 2004 (75cl) White - Domaine de Tavernel 2004 (75cl)
A blend of Vermentino and Muscat Petit Grains, this is a typically juicy Rhone white. Vermentino is chosen for its light, fresh flavours, the late harvesting that it favours resulting in fine, dry, aromatic characteristics, with scents of fresh apple, almond and soft spices. The Muscat adds depth and a lingering aftertaste. 


Price:   £6.50 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
