The wine
Château Revelette’s La Grand Blanc is a blend of Chardonnay, Roussanne and Sauvignon Blanc. The organically-grown grapes are destemmed. A third of the grapes are vinified in vats, 40% in new barrels without Sulphur and the remaining third in casks with ambient yeasts.
About the Producer Château Revelette
Since the mid 1980s Château Revelette has been run by the talented producer Peter Fischer, who has always been switched on to natural winemaking. Sheltered by Mount Sainte Victoire, the vineyard lies on the northern-most terroir of the Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence appellation; characterised by their harsh, cold winters and dry, hot summers. Peter Fischer has boundless enthusiasm for making real wine; cultivating 11 different varieties over 17 plots situated at an altitude of between 330–400 metres. He obtained organic certification 20 years ago – favouring grass cover in the vineyard, limited copper dosage, green harvesting and manual cultivation – and his alchemic work in the winery respects tradition, but is endlessly attentive and vintage-specific. He has recently switched over to egg-shaped concrete tanks for his white wines.
