Bursting with typical flavours of apricot and peach alongside elegant floral notes. The palate is round, with a refreshing acidity and a perfectly balanced finish.
The grapes come partly from the Hérault department between Béziers and Montpellier and partly from the Aude Valley in the south of the Minervois, near the town of Carcassonne. The vines are planted on limestone soils and pebbles and they grow on slopes at an average altitude of 150 to 200 metres, with an average age of ten years. The grapes were harvested early at low yields of around forty hectolitres per hectare.
Alcoholic fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 15 to 18°C. The wine was then aged for several months in vats on its lees. Malolactic fermentation was not carried out.

Badet-Clément is a forward thinking producer, founded in 1995 by Laurent and Catherine Delaunay, two winemakers of Burgundian origin. Whilst they are still based in Nuits-St-George, they have become increasingly known for their pioneering work in the Languedoc where they produce modern and attractively packaged wines that offer fantastic value for money. Their Révélation range has all of the bright, fresh fruit that we would expect from the modern Languedoc, but with an added elegance that lifts these wines above many of their peers.
