nothing more than heat multicolored tomato salad , Like a link between the intense colors of the season mixed with the aroma of tomatoes. This flavor that I associate with summer since childhood. This Proust is made from the real good tomatoes we grow and which taste very different from supermarket tomatoes. The taste of cherry tomatoes, this summer candy.. This sweet, savory flavor.. This flavor that changes and develops from variety to variety, more or less potent, more or less intense. And then this meat is so firm, melting.
But it’s only been a few years since we’ve seen different varieties of tomatoes blooming on supermarket shelves. Prior to this, it was reserved for some of the beginners of markets, or vegetable gardens, who treasured certain seeds. Today the tomato is no longer the image that is pinal, round, red, shiny. Tomato takes back his clothes and cultivates his difference. It comes in all colours, shapes, sizes.

What to drink with a multicolored (or monochrome!) Tomato Salad?
Tomatoes are often something that can be intimidating to find a suitable wine for. Not long ago, I had a chance to discover the compromise between sun-soaked tomato salad and tavel du Trinquedale Castle ,
Tavel’s wines are generally very dark in color, which we call “wineux,” meaning they’re more like a lighter red wine on the palate than the lighter rosé we have. drinking habit. As they say, they have more structure. These are wines that go very well in summer with notes of red fruits (raspberries, strawberries, cherries) and black pepper…
Tavel du Chateau de Trinquevedel puts this juicy fruit in the mouth, with sweet or even candied aromas of strawberries and raspberries, which go wonderfully with the sweetness of tomatoes, as long as they smell ‘summer’. Along with are beautiful, juicy tomatoes! It has a slight minerality that brings out just the right amount of freshness without implying a level of compromise… you want to wonder? Try this rosé on your multicolored tomato salad!
