Chateau de Manissy has long been revered (mainly in France), for their Tavel Rose, but they've also become increasingly good at other wines as well. Their 2022 Rose Langoustiere topped the list at a recent Wine Advocate tasting of 80 Rhone Roses. This is not one of those trendy, multi-generational, micro-production, family owned estates that people fawn over. These are simply beautifully made, well-priced, honest wines designed mainly for drinkers rather than cellarers. I'll let the critics and the scores do the talking and you can make your own minds up. Suffice to say, I wouldn't have bothered with them if the wines didn't meet a number of strict criteria. I mean, why bother offering ordinary wines when there's so many good ones out there! The wines are both organic and Biodynamically certified.
