Miraval, Côtes de Provence Rosé 2019

Miraval Rose reveals a seductive and pure petal pink color. Full of freshness, it offers elegant aromas of fresh and delicious fruits like red currant, supported by slightly lemony, mineral, and saline notes. Its long and intense finish is the signature of a rosé with an incomparable elegance.

Ratings: 91 points, International Wine Report - "The 2019 Miraval Rosé is sourced from their 500-hectare vineyard that is set in a valley in the ancient village of Correns in the center of Provence. A blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, and Rolle, the vineyard is set on limestone and clay soils. A light dusting of salted damp earth combines with pretty rose water and melon tones on the nose. The palate is fresh and wonderfully textured, showing layers of bright melon and red fruit flavors with a great veil of tension. Fantastic now, this beautiful effort will cellar well over the next seven-plus years."
