IGP Méditerranée Château Revelette Le Grand Rouge Sandra & Peter Fischer 2015
The wine
Certified organic, this Bouches-du Rhône Vin de Pays is a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Pinot Noir grapes which are harvested by hand and vatted separately for a month. The wine is then matured in barrels and has unparalleled structure and depth. Decanter before serving to best showcase its intense aromas of dark fruit, graphite, spice and pepper. A very sunny wine with great length in the mouth, pairing well with boldly flavoured meat.
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.
