Miraval rosé is a wonderful blend of fruits aromas and freshness, made on an exceptional terroirs in Provence.
Presentation
The vintage
Like in the Northern Rhône, the 2023 vintage was full of contrasts in Provence, requiring composure and meticulous and permanent attention of our vines. After a dry winter, the spring was particularly wet with episodes of hail which caused damage. Following these heavy rains, we had to face significant spells of mildew before a particularly hot and dry summer. The harvest thus began early on September 6th. Due to these climatic hazards, the harvest offers a limited quantity but with magnificent quality. The wines are now resting peacefully in the cellar. In the fall, we were also able to harvest a good crop of olives, around 15 tonnes.

Tasting
Magnificent bright and clear rose-gold colour with subtle silver undertones. The nose immediately reveals all the elegance and subtlety of Miraval Rosé with its superb intense and floral aromatic bouquet, mixing notes of hibiscus and amaryllis with a gourmet nature with delicious aromas of vine peaches. The sophistication continues on the palate with an ample, fleshy, silky texture, gourmet aromas of crunchy fruit combined with a beautiful tension and a very nice balance thanks to the natural acidity and the minerality typical to Miraval terroir offering saline and limestone notes. The finish is outstanding, full of length, delicately silky. A magnificent vintage of Miraval with signature flavours.
Reviews
"[...] 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."
"It is a classic blend of cinsault, grenache, syrah and rolle. We always have this one sitting in our refrig, begging for a plate of cheese. Raspberry and citrus notes with lively acidity and a dash of orange peel and minerality."
"Le rosé Miraval, petit bijou de la Provence, incarne à la fois finesse et élégance. Empreint d'une agréable vinosité et issu de terroirs d'exception, il séduit par son parfait équilibre entre arômes fruités et fraîcheur. Dès le premier nez, il charme avec un bouquet d'une grande délicatesse, où se mêlent harmonieusement des notes d'agrumes, de petites fraises, de groseilles, de framboises, de fruits blancs, de pêches et de fleurs blanches. En bouche, sa finesse se révèle à travers une texture ample, riche et complexe. Sublimé par une tension remarquable, équilibrée par une acidité et une minéralité naturelles, il est marqué de notes salines et calcaires, typiques du terroir provençal. Le millésime actuel du Miraval rosé brille particulièrement, justifiant amplement sa place dans le Top 25 de notre palmarès annuel des meilleurs rosés."
"As sophisticated and chic as the bottle itself, this wine comes from one of the oldest wineries in southern France. This organic rosé is fresh, fragrant and certifiably classy..." [+]
"A delicious, fruity and round rosé with aromas of frozen raspberries, forest berries and some apricot skin on the nose, following through to a medium body. Silky and fruit-driven, with a mellow and satisfying finish."
