Cotes de Provence Chateau Miraval Rose 2018 | Sunshine in a glass
Cotes de Provence Chateau Miraval Rose 2018 presents a gorgeous salmon-hued with a vibrant rose-petal pink core. Effusive aromas of wild raspberry and strawberry fruit, garrigue, iris, and violet florals. Luscious and juicy, teeming with ripe and fleshy pear, crushed strawberries and bursting with bright acidity on a firm, saline mineral-driven finish. Drink all year round through to 2022.
Only a few rosés have ever landed on the Wine Spectator Top 100. One of them was Chateau Miraval’s stunning 2012 debut vintage. Partner and winemaker Marc Perrin is world-famous from his work with Château de Beaucastel, but when the Spectator put Marc on the cover in June 2014, top billing in the “Pitt & Perrin: Superstars in Provence” headline went to co-owner Brad Pitt.

Despite what you’ve read in the tabloids, the Pitts have not sold the sprawling estate and the Perrins are firmly running the show. But the real stars are the sun-drenched vines planted in protective terraced plots. So, at around 1,150 feet in elevation, are surrounded by oaks and garrigue, and cleansed by a constant Provençal breeze. The soils are rich in clay, chalk, and most critically, limestone, which delivers a prodigious mineral vein
Since the exclusive valley location of Chateau Miraval embodies an exceptional terroir. While Terroir is the expression of the soil. But the climate and the history of the land is the essence of the wine. Therefore, at an altitude of 350 meters, the vines enjoy warm, sunny days and cool nights. Hence, bringing freshness and balance to the wines.
Most notably, Chateau Miraval is a joint venture between Famille Perrin and Hollywood A-listers, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
