Château Revelette 2022 Coteaux d’Aix en Provence
Often extremely light, sometimes thin, too many rosés from Provence are disappointing. From the classic grapes (Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan) with a hint (10%) of Ugni blanc, this lovely rosé offers good character. Charming fruity (melon, red berries) and floral nose. The deeper colour announces a wine with more depth, body and lingering flavours. This tasty and versatile rosé should marry well with grilled chicken or salmon. Enjoy!
