Miraval is an authentic rosé crafted by a 5th generation winemaking family, Famille Perrin, in the heart of Provence where natural beauty flourishes. The synergy of its unique location, the people, and the surrounding nature creates a harmonious environment that blends wine, music, food, and culture.
Nestled in its own private valley in the ancient village of Correns – France's first organic village – Château Miraval estate spans over 1,400 acres, featuring two valleys, a lake, and a world-renowned recording studio. Throughout its storied history, the estate has served as home to a monastic order, to members of the French court in the 14th century, to musician and composer Jacques Loussier in the 1970s.
Today, the estate is renowned for producing legendary rosé wines, thanks to the collaboration between the Perrin family's winemaking expertise and the artistic vision of the Pitt family.
From a clay and limestone vineyard, partially in terraces, at an average of 350 meters, Miraval balances richness with freshness. The site's cool microclimate, with big temperature swings between night and day, give this wine a verve and lift that keeps you reaching for another sip.
The grapes are harvested exclusively in the morning and sorted twice. Cinsault, Grenache and Rolle are direct-pressed while the Syrah is destemmed and partially made using the saignée method. The wine is then fermented and aged in temperature controlled stainless steel vats (95%) and in barrels (5%) with bâtonnage.
The resulting wine is a magnificent bright rose-gold color with silver undertones. The nose reveals a delicate aromatic bouquet, mixing notes of hibiscus and amaryllis with aromas of vine peaches. The palate holds a beautiful tension – ample, fleshy, silky texture, a very nice balance. Crunchy fruit combines with the minerality of saline and limestone notes. The finish is outstanding, full of length.
With its subtle complexity and rounded profile, Miraval is the perfect selection to pair across an entire meal – from hors d’oeuvres and appetizers to dessert.
