Miraval Cotes de Provence Rosé 2023

Miraval Cotes de Provence Rose, Côtes de Provence, France, 2023

Grapes: 40% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 20% Rolle, 10% Syrah. The wine was fermented separately with 95% in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and 5% in oak barrels and then blended post fermentation. 

Producer Tasting Note:

The wine has a beautiful pale, petal-pink colour, with bright nuances. On the nose, it exudes aromas of fresh redcurrants, garrigue, lemon peel and wet stone. The palate is bursting with notes of crunchy red fruit, white peach, and hints of jasmine. It has a long, saline finish and mouth-watering acidity,

Critic's Tasting Note:

"The 2023 Chateau Miraval Rose comes from parcels located in Muriers, Longue, Romarin, as well as from sites neighboring Correns. This 2023 Miraval is a refined combination of Cinsault, Rolle, Grenache and Syrah. This is very bright and fresh, coming off a touch leaner than the 2022. Pear, strawberry and watermelon flavors all combine with copious minerals and orange zest notes on the palate. Enjoy now and over the next few years."

91/100 points, Owen Bargreen, July 2024

Château Miraval is located in the Provence village of Correns, the first 100% organic village in France. All of the crops, including grapes, are grown organically in this wild and picturesque town. Tucked away in its own private valley, the Château is surrounded by ancient woodlands and olive groves. In 2012, owners Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie partnered with the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel fame, who oversee wine production at the estate. Their continued dedication to improving quality in both the vineyards and the cellar, have seen the wines go from strength to strength, with Château Miraval today considered one of the great names of Provence.
