Côtes de Provence Rosé is a renowned and beloved wine that hails from the picturesque region of Provence in the south of France. This rosé is celebrated for its pale pink colour, delicate aromas and refreshing taste. Made from a blend of different grape varieties, including Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, Côtes de Provence Rosé embodies the essence of Provence’s sunny climate and rich terroir.

Crafted from a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle and Syrah grapes, this rosé is a testament to the exceptional terroirs of Provence. Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé is sourced from a selection of vineyards near the village of Correns, in the heart of Provence. The clay and limestone vineyard, partially situated in terraces at an average altitude of 350 meters, experiences a cool climate with significant temperature variations between day and night. The grapes are exclusively harvested in the morning and undergo two rounds of sorting. Destemming is followed by direct pressing for Cinsault, Grenache and Rolle, while the Syrah is partially vinified using the “saignée” method. The wine is then aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats (95%) and barrels (5%) with batonnage. In the glass, Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé showcases an attractive bright and translucent colour, reminiscent of the classic pale pink hues of Provence. The nose immediately captivates with an elegant aromatic bouquet, delicately blending fresh fruit, notes of freshly cut currants and roses, all harmonized with a zest of lemon. On the palate, this wine reveals its refinement through an ample, rich and indulgent texture, perfectly balanced by natural acidity and minerality. The saline and limestone notes, specific to Miraval, persist throughout the long finish. This vintage showcases the signature flavours that make Miraval wines so distinctive. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle and Syrah, sourced from vines planted on clay-limestone soils, the Cotes de Provence Rose reveals aromas of red berries, spices, peach, watermelon, spring flowers and pomegranate. Medium-bodied and elegantly oaky with a spicy touch, it’s fresh and fruity with a mouthwatering, elegant finish. This rosé benefits from the expertise of the Perrin family. – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 90
