Le Grand Blanc de Revelette IGP 2020

Tasting Notes for Le Grand Blanc de Revelette IGP 2020 by Revelette

Colour & Appearance

Bright, sparkling golden yellow in the glass.

Nose

A touch of Mediterranean flair streams from the glass: spicy aniseed, fennel, rosemary and thyme combine with juicy pear, peach and delicate orange fruit. With a little aeration, nuances of hay, camomile and subtle lavender reveal themselves.

Palate

Powerful and distinctive on the palate. A stimulating freshness and fine mineral drive perfectly balance the dense fruit and herbal spice. Despite its richness and structured tannins, the wine remains engaging and dynamic – perfect for a lively feast with a large gathering. Be sure to decant and enjoy not too chilled from a large glass.

Terroir & Origin

Shaped by the unique microclimate at the foot of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire at an altitude of 330 to 400 metres. The nocturnal Alpine air descending into the valley creates marked diurnal temperature variations, granting the grapes a slow ripening period filled with cool tension.

Grape Variety & Winemaking

An exciting cuvée of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Trebbiano. In Peter Fischer’s cellar, the Chardonnay is given time in small oak barrels, while the remainder is aged in stainless steel to preserve its freshness.

Food Pairings

Delicious alongside unfattened duck liver with toasted bread, grilled red gurnard with rosemary, thyme, garlic and olive oil, or Picodon cheese with fig mustard.

Particularities

Crafted following rigorous biodynamic principles (since 2011). The wine impressively demonstrates that Provence can also present a style that is cool, complex and elegant.
