Chateau Revelette Rosé AOP 2024

Wine Description for Chateau Revelette Rosé AOP 2024 by Revelette

Colour & Appearance

A luminous, intense pomegranate seed rosé – deeper and more expressive than the typical pale Provençal rosé. Even in the glass, this colour signals substance and character.

Nose

The nose surprises with remarkable depth: ripe cherries, wild raspberries and succulent plums form the fruity foundation. Layered over this is a Provençal herb panorama of rosemary, thyme, sage and juniper – as if you had just stepped into the garrigue after a summer rain. Spicy notes of red tomatoes and red pepper lend the aromatics a savoury, almost Mediterranean complexity.

Palate

Juicy, powerful and with real bite – this rosé has no intention of hiding away. The Cabernet Sauvignon component brings structure and pleasant tannin tension, the Grenache delivers fullness and warmth, the Cinsault provides springy freshness. The result is a wine with genuine umami character: complex, expressive, with a length rarely expected from a rosé. Not a terrace whisper, but a wine that has something to say at the table.

Finish

Long, spicy and carried by pleasant mineral freshness. The herbal notes return and keep the finish lively and precise.

Terroir & Origin

Chateau Revelette lies in the heart of Provence, far from the fashionable coastal bustle, in the hills north of Aix-en-Provence. The rugged, limestone-rich terroir with its intense sunshine and cool nights unmistakably shapes this wine: more depth, more character, more soul.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The cuvée combines Grenache, Cinsault and Cabernet Sauvignon – an unusual combination for Provence, but masterfully deployed here. Direct pressing and careful vinification at controlled temperatures preserve the aromatic purity and lively character of the 2024 vintage.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A wine that needs food – and deserves it. Ideal with grilled lamb chops with Provençal herbs, a bouillabaisse or a rustic ratatouille. Equally convincing with goat’s cheese, tapenade and charcuterie. For those who prefer it simpler: a good grilled steak will not disappoint with this rosé.

Special Features

Revelette belongs to the most consistent character winemakers of Provence – not a wine for mass taste, but for those who value depth over palatability. The 2024 continues this course and proves that rosé can be far more than a summer aperitif.
