Château Revelette - Red

Presentation of Château Revelette - Red

Château Revelette Rouge is a must-have among Provence wines. The nose opens with notes of very ripe fruit. The palate is rich and fleshy, but also shows a lot of freshness and brightness. The tannins are very fine. A complex and harmonious wine to enjoy with lamb or couscous for example.

HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

Peter Fischer arrived in Jouques in 1985 and quickly became the region's emblematic winemaker. It produces local wines between 330 and 400 meters above sea level, on 30 hectares of vines scattered in the middle of a natural setting. He respects the environment and strives above all to highlight his terroir, the northernmost of the appellation. A wine lover, endearing, passionate and exciting. Accompanied by his wife Sandra for a long time, today their children Clara and Hugo are planning this great family adventure.

In the heart of Provence , 30 km north of Aix-en-Provence, in the town of Jouques, Revelette has remained in its raw, wild and mysterious state. Sheltered by the Sainte-Victoire mountain, in the middle of thousands of hectares of woods, a building, cellars, vines... A wine estate which has only one vocation: make real wine.

FOOD AND WINE

It will go wonderfully with the great classics: lamb, leg of lamb, small chops, grilled meats, charcuterie. Also try with couscous.
