Lavau
Formerly from St Emilion, the Lavau Family has been involved in winemaking for several generations. They have been making wine in the Rhône Valley for 40 years. Today the cellar is managed by brothers Benoit and Frederic Lavau. The goal from the beginning has been simple: produce classic, engaging yet affordable wines that are approachable whilst retaining that traditional refined aesthetic associated with French Wine.
Envyfols 2022 GSM
Ripe blackberry, plum and raspberry lead a generous, full-bodied palate, with peppery spice and a subtle herbal edge adding lift. Smooth, supple tannins keep the blend approachable, while the dark fruit remains fresh enough for the table. The finish is warm, savoury and easygoing. Serve slightly cool with grilled sausages, lamb burgers, roast vegetables or tomato-rich pasta.
Envyfols 2023 Chardonnay Pays D’Oc
An aromatic Chardonnay with fresh herbs, cut grass and ripe peach, followed by touches of honey, citrus and spice. The palate is supple and rounded, balancing orchard-fruit richness with enough acidity to remain lively. A gentle sweetness of fruit carries through the stony finish, making this an appealing match for roast chicken, creamy vegetables or lightly spiced seafood.
Lavau 2025 Livazur IGP Mediterranee Rose
Pale and brilliant in the glass, with dried rose petal and a gentle floral lift. The palate is bright and tangy, bringing lemon, grapefruit and a lightly confectionary note into focus. Hints of linden, marjoram and thyme add a distinctive herbal freshness to the finish. Serve well chilled with summer salads, prawns or grilled Mediterranean vegetables.
Lavau 2022 Tavel Rose
Candied cherry, cassis and frozen raspberry lead a vivid, fruit-forward rose, with pepper and spice adding lift. Creamy yet vibrant, the medium-bodied palate carries good volume and intensity without losing focus. A generous, structured style with a clean, spicy finish, it suits grilled salmon, tomato-based dishes or charcuterie served slightly chilled.
