Revelette PUR Blanc VdF 2022

Wine Description for Revelette PUR Blanc VdF 2022 by Revelette

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow in the glass – a colour that already announces the substance and maturity of this unusual white wine. The skin contact imparts additional depth and presence to the wine.

Nose

A fascinating aromatic profile that shifts between Provençal herbs and ripe fruit. Caramelised nuts, thyme, lavender and jasmine mingle with a herbal hay note. The fruit reveals itself as complex: quinces, ripe pears and apples with skin, plus a hint of orange. Dense, creamy, slightly herbal – this wine promises substance.

Palate

Here the true personality of this wine emerges. Juicy and mouth-filling, with perceptible yet perfectly integrated tannins from the skin contact. The acidity structure is precise and lean, the fruit concentrating on green and yellow apples as well as lemons. Surprisingly, the creaminess hinted at on the nose gives way to a saline tautness. The wine is bone-dry, clearly defined, with mineral tension.

Finish

Long and saline, with lingering freshness. The tannins give the finale grip and structure – more texture than conventional white wines, without appearing heavy.

Terroir & Origin

30 hectares of vineyards across 17 parcels near Jouques, approximately 30 kilometres north of Aix-en-Provence, sheltered by the legendary Montagne Sainte-Victoire. A privileged location in Provence that unites freshness and concentration.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Cuvée of 60% Ugni Blanc, 25% Carignan Blanc and 15% Rolle. Hand-harvested, the Rolle macerated for four weeks in the juice of the Ugni Blanc with daily punch-downs. Maturation in egg-shaped tanks on full lees, not racked, bottled without sulphite addition – an uncompromisingly natural approach.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Grilled sea bream with green olive tapenade, ashcake with quark and leeks, basmati with mung beans and apricots. The texture and salinity also make it an ideal companion for roasted root vegetables or aged goat’s cheese.

Special Features

An orange wine avant la lettre – textured, unfiltered, without sulphites. A bold, authentic wine that demonstrates what the underestimated grape varieties of Provence are capable of.
