Château Revelette is an incredible property set at a crazy elevation north of Mount Saint Victoire in the heart of Provence. It’s been organically farmed for decades, producing rosé with a high degree of elegance and finesse. North of Mount Saint Victoire, lays the estate of Peter Fischer, the beautiful Château Revelette. This 25 hectare estate is unique in Provence; its high elevation and the protection of the mountain allows much slower ripening of its grapes, resulting in wine that is both fine and aromatically driven, traits rarely found in the appellation.
Peter Fischer tends his vines organically and practices a non-interventive style of winemaking that allows the wines to truly represent their unique terroir and to accurately express the character of the given vintage. The Rosé is a bright and elegant wine, delivering high-toned flavors of strawberry and melon with plenty of extraction and length. It’s a traditional Provencal blend of Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault.

I love everything about this wine! Bone dry and super fresh, the south of France in a glass.
Rosé is the classic wine of spring and summer, complementing all types of cuisine; especially anything on the grill.
Obviously, I can’t tell you all the details of the vineyard source but I can let you in on a few of the details. Crafted using fruit from 1000-1500 ft in elevation, Chad’s 2019 is cool climate Pinot at its best– especially given the price tag. While similar wines (very similar wines) will fetch a $45 price tag, you can snag it today just less than half off that price on bottle one. There’s no surprise this is the #1 wine of the year in 2020.
The newly released 2021 Clos Julien Rose is super lively and aromatic. It opens up to notes of high-toned red berry and flowers just fly from the glass and pick up a slight savory accent as the wine opens up. Juicy and fresh on the palate, offering wild strawberry and citrus rind flavors that deepen and spread out on the back half. A long, focused and bone-dry finish showcase amazing energy for what is sure to be a new happy hour go-to and Tuesday night Hall of Famer.

The flagship from Xavier is the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Anonyme, and in 2019 it’s 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and the balance a mix of permitted varieties. Partially destemmed and brought up in a mix of demi-muids and tank, it offers a beautifully pure, vibrant bouquet of black raspberries, white and black pepper, candied orange, and violets. Complex, layered, and nuanced, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless texture, and a great finish. It has both elegance and richness, and will keep for 15+ years.
If you’re looking for one of my most sincere recommendations of the year, heed this: this is the Rose to have of all the ones I’ve tried so far. The newly released 2021 Effet Papillon Rose is off the charts. Made 100% from Grenache (as many of the best Southern French Roses are, this is salmon in color. It boasts aromas of bright red and stone fruits, orange rinds and a hint of lemon zest. It’s incredibly smooth and dry, making it a great food wine– but this Rose is serious with depth and complexity, making it worthy of enjoying on its own.
