Le Grand Blanc de Revelette IGP 2020

In colour, the 2020 Le Grand Blanc de Revelette presents itself in a bright and bubbly golden yellow that delights the eyes of critics and friends of fine wines alike. The Mediterranean attitude to life spreads through the nose, an intriguing blend of aniseed, fennel, rosemary and thyme, deftly melding with rich notes of pear, peach and orange. With sufficient oxygen, this array of aromas opens up even further to reveal subtle nuances of hay, chamomile and even a hint of lavender. Such a dense and complex variety of aromas already suggests a spectacular taste palate thrill.

The explosive sensory experience continues on the palate. Here, Le Grand Blanc shows itself powerful and clear, equipped with invigorating acidity and fine minerality. It captivates with its densely spun fruit basket and a powerful herbal spiciness, which combine harmoniously with fine tannins to form a sensually stimulating symbiosis. Even with such rich volume, spice and seamlessly integrated texture, it retains a seductively stimulating acidity that is matched by a stunning freshness. This is a wine made for a fun and cheerful gathering with plenty of good food and lively conversation.

To experience this wine in its full glory, be sure to decant it and serve it not too cold and from a generous glass.

For a harmonious culinary accompaniment, for example, a pâté of duck liver with crusty bread toasted on the grill would be a fine choice. Another treat could be grilled lemon sole, carefully seasoned with rosemary, thyme, garlic and olive oil. A piece of Picodon cheese, served with a fig mustard, successfully rounds off the pleasure.
