Révélation – AOP Minervois
Learn more
Révélation embodies the most refined expression of the Minervois AOP, coming from selected parcels on eroded, stony, and rocky sandstone soils, an exceptional historic terroir of the Minervois.
With ideal southeast exposure and an intense Mediterranean climate with more than 300 days of sunshine, this mineral and demanding terroir only reveals its potential for the best-managed vines. The Syrah and Grenache blend creates a masterful harmony, revealing the restrained power and depth of the Minervois terroir.
Winemaking
Mechanical harvesting is carried out at optimal ripeness. Sophisticated traditional vinification. Grenache expresses its generous fruit through classic fermentation. Syrah benefits from a low-temperature fermentation at the start to capture primary fruity and mineral aromas, then is stabilized at a moderate temperature to structure the wine. It then spends 1 year in new oak barrels, allowing subtle oak integration and a prestigious ageing. Careful blending takes place at bottling according to the cellar master’s vision.
