Description
What kind of wine it is
Chateau Revelette Coteaux d’Aix en Provence Rosé is an organic still rosé wine that elegantly embodies the spirit of its region. This harmonious blend combines Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault, Carignan and Trebbiano grapes to create a clean and balanced flavour profile. An expression of the Coteaux d’Aix en Provence area, the wine stands out for its vibrant freshness and pleasant tension. On the palate, it is dry and well-defined, making it the ideal companion for grilled fish and Asian cuisine, as well as vegetarian dishes and light starters.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of Provence, specifically in Jouques, north of Aix-en-Provence. The vineyards of Chateau Revelette grow sheltered by the majestic Mont Sainte-Victoire, set in a natural environment surrounded by thousands of hectares of woodland. This geographical position ensures a perfect microclimate for practising organic viticulture, with a focus on maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. The winery is committed to producing wines with authentic character, capable of expressing the nuances of Provençal land through meticulous and respectful vineyard management.
How it is produced
Production begins with a rigorous manual harvest, during which the bunches of the different varieties are selected and picked separately. In the winery, the pursuit of maximum aromatic expression involves an eight-hour skin maceration, delicately extracting colours and aromas. Only the free-run juice obtained at the end of this contact is used, which is then clarified by decantation. The process concludes with a partial malolactic fermentation, a technical choice that allows the structure and acidity to be balanced, making the sip smooth while preserving the wine’s characteristic freshness.
History and Curiosities
Born in the heart of Provence, this organic and sustainable rosé comes to life on an estate protected by the Sainte-Victoire massif. The philosophy of Château Revelette is to create a true and authentic wine, starting with a careful manual harvest carried out bunch by bunch. Each variety is picked separately to enhance its individual characteristics. The elegance of the sip is born from the exclusive use of the must obtained after eight hours of maceration on the skins, followed by meticulous decanting and partial malolactic fermentation.
