Inspired by Tavel, the 2024 Château de Montfaucon Lirac Rosé is impressive, delivering a richly rewarding cost-to-pleasure ratio. Certified organic, it's woven from equal parts Grenache, Cinsault, Carignan, and Counoise—all pressed and co-fermented, then aged in 600L barrels. The color is a gorgeous rose-petal pink, and the palate is thirst-quenching, offering ripe nectarine, raspberry, dried rose petals, and a hint of flaky pastry crust. It reminds me of a late-summer fruit galette. It's the kind of rosé I love to have on hand for when only a well-made pink wine will do. Great with or without food—but dress up a little, this wine is no porch pounder. It deserves your time and consideration.
