Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé is a truly exceptional wine that beautifully combines fruit aromas with a refreshing sense of vitality. 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.

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.
