Château Miraval Côtes De Provence Rosé (750Ml)

Château Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé comes from an estate in Correns, in the hills of Provence. The Perrin family, famous for Château de Beaucastel in the Rhône, makes the wine. It is a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Rolle. Rolle is the Provençal name for the white grape Vermentino. Together they make a rosé wine with both freshness and a little weight.

The care starts in the vineyard. Grapes are picked only in the cool morning and sorted twice. Cinsault, Grenache and Rolle are pressed straight away. Part of the Syrah is made by bleeding juice from the tank, known as saignée. Most of the wine ferments in steel vats. A small share, about five percent, goes into barrels and is stirred on its lees for extra texture.

In your glass you will see a bright rose-gold color with a silvery glint. The nose is floral, with hibiscus and amaryllis next to ripe vine peach. On the palate it feels full and silky. Crunchy fruit and lively acidity keep it fresh. A saline, limestone minerality runs through the middle. The finish is long and gently silky.

For the 2023 vintage, the producer reports 91 points from Bacchus and 90 from James Suckling. Decanter scored it 89 points.

Serve it well chilled, around 8 to 10°C. It is lovely as an aperitif, and it shines at the table too. Try it with seafood, grilled fish, white meats, salads or sushi. Light pasta dishes work well too. You can also turn it into an easy summer spritz.

Pick this bottle if you want a polished, dry-tasting Provence rosé that does more than refresh. It is a good choice for a summer party or a quiet dinner at home. Browse our other wine picks if you want something to pour alongside it.
