Chateau Miraval Cotes de Provence ROSE Organically Farmed 2023 750ml
Elizabeth Gabay MW writes: Made in partnership with actor Brad Pitt (and previously actor Angelina Jolie), this comes from cooler vineyards at around 350m in northern Provence, planted on limestone and clay soils, giving excellent freshness even in hotter summers. The Cinsault, Grenache and Rolle have minimal skin contact, while the Syrah has slightly longer maceration. 95% of the blend is fermented in tank and 5% in barrel with longer lees contact and battonage. Youthfully restrained aromas of white flowers, this wine has a combination of freshness and concentration. The character of this wine focuses on texture and structure with some serious intensity of red and black berry fruit. There is fresh acidity, elegant floral notes and a delicate phenolic finish with a touch of saline minerality. - Decanter
Kristen Bieler writes: Mineral energy defines this rosé, with a cleansing layer of wet stone. Vibrant acidity pulses beneath juicy notes of peach and watermelon, plus herb accents. Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle and Tibouren. Drink now. - Wine Spectator
Winemaker Notes
Magnificent bright rose-gold color with silver undertones. Very elegant, the nose reveals a superb, intense and delicate aromatic bouquet, mixing notes of hibiscus and amaryllis with a gourmet nature offering delicious aromas of vine peaches. The sophistication continues on the palate with a beautiful tension, an ample, fleshy, silky texture, a very nice balance, and gourmet aromas of crunchy fruit combined with the minerality of saline and limestone notes. The finish is outstanding, full of length.
