Rhone Valley Château de Manissy

Our committee's review

Tucked between Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Lirac, and Tavel, Château de Manissy is one of the Rhône Valley’s best-kept secrets, producing outstanding wines that remain incredibly well-priced.

With over a century of history, this estate—once owned by the Missionary Fathers of the Holy Family—is now in the hands of Florian André, who has embraced biodynamic farming to bring out the full potential of this exceptional terroir.

In Tavel, Manissy crafts powerful, character-driven rosés that stand apart from the delicate styles of Provence. Here, the complex soils and bold winemaking create structured, food-friendly wines that have found their place on some of the finest tables.

Don't miss Manissy's historic cuvée—a Tavel crafted with true expertise, offering richness, depth, and remarkable length. Quite simply, the finest Tavel in the appellation and an unmissable gem at this price.

A world apart from the pale rosés of Provence, the 2023 Tête de Cuvée Tavel Rosé is an icon in its own right. Its delicate copper hue sets the tone for a wine of remarkable intensity, layered aromas, and impressive depth. Crafted from Grenache, Clairette, and Cinsault, this vintage is defined by its freshness, revealing floral notes of rose and dried flowers, lifted by hints of blood orange and candied mandarin. Structured and vinous, with fine tannins, this is a rosé built for the table rather than the terrace. A true standout, awarded 94/100 and a "Favorite" distinction from the Selection Committee.

For Olivier Poussier, this is the finest Tavel in the appellation—an unmissable gem at this price.
