Tavel is known as “the rosé of kings and the king of rosés”- The Vignobles Mireille Petit-Roudil, a family property,  produces typical Tavel which, is one of the only rosé wines to gain complexity over the years. The Petit-Roudil family has been producing Tavel wines since the 16th century when the monks were making the local wines. The most important name in this domaine’s history is that of Mireilles’s great grandfather, Aimé Roudil (1870-1938), who formally established the estate in the years following the phylloxera crisis. In 1902, Tavel winemakers formed a union of vineyard owner-winemakers. In 1927, the Chairman of the union, Aimé Roudil, and forty Tavel winemakers petitioned the Gard courts to officially define the production area. The official notice was published in 19 November 1937. Gaël Petit took over from his mother, Mireille Petit-Roudil, and continues Aimé’s work through the production of great Tavel wines. The vineyard is situated on the right bank of the Rhône River, on a limestone terroir covered by red clay and round pebbles.
