About this wine
Character
A full-bodied white wine with plenty of herbal spice, whose invigorating acidity keeps the fullness in tension. In the glass, bright, sparkling golden yellow.
Terroir and origin
Château Revelette is located near Jouques, 30 kilometers north of Aix-en-Provence at the foot of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, on the northwestern edge of the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence. The 30 hectares of vines sit at 330 to 400 meters altitude, surrounded by 170 hectares of forest. At night, cold Alpine air flows down into the valley; the large day-night temperature differences slow ripening.
Grape variety and vinification
A cuvée of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Trebbiano. Part matures in small oak barrels, the rest in stainless steel, for freshness and polish. 13.5% vol., dry.
On the palate
On the nose anise, fennel, rosemary and thyme over juicy pear, peach and orange; with air, hay, chamomile and a touch of lavender emerge. On the palate powerful and pronounced, with dense fruit, herbal spice, fine tannin and richness. Invigorating acidity and delicate minerality provide counterbalance. Be sure to decant and drink not too cold from a large glass.
Food pairings
With foie gras from non-force-fed ducks with grilled bread, with grilled gurnard with rosemary, thyme, garlic and olive oil or with Picodon with fig mustard, the goat cheese from the Ardèche.
Special features

The cellar houses concrete eggs, amphorae, foudres and aroma-neutral concrete tanks. Hugo and Clara now work alongside him.
