Mirabeau, Pure Rose Cotes de Provence 2022

92 points Decanter
"A pale and elegant Provence rose that opens with breezy aromas of red berries and freshly washed linen. There's good intensity on the palate and a soft, redcurrant finish. Orange rind, watermelon and strawberries are tempered by a touch of spice, a lick of wet stone and a teaspoon of creaminess."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Blend: 62% Grenache, 21% Syrah,10% Cinsault, 7% Mourvèdre / Carignan / Rolle / Cabernet Sauvignon / Tibouren / Ugni Blanc. Referred to as ‘Provence in a Glass’, Mirabeau's flagship Rosé was inspired by long, languid days on the Côte d’Azur. A careful selection from the most favored terroirs of the Cotes de Provence, majoring on parcels from around the Sainte-Victoire mountain range, where the cool night temperatures and limestone soils produce pronounced minerality. Complemented with selections from the "Golden Triangle" around the foothills of the Maure Mountains and the upper Var that will add aromatic complexity and length. Tasting Notes: Fragrant citrus and exotic fruit on the nose, leading with pink grapefruit, papaya and vineyard peach. On the palate, floral notes and a nice tension, with a clean minerality underpinning this precise style. A mouth-watering wine, perfect for festive moments and an elegant gastronomic partner to finer food. Food Pairing: Grilled sea bream with lemon zest and fennel, tataki of wild salmon, beef tagliata, matcha tea ice cream.
