The vintage
In Provence, the 2024 vintage was marked by complex climatic conditions, requiring constant vigilance and attention in the vineyard. Frost in May, hail in July and then a cool and slightly rainy September favoured slow ripening of the grapes. This allowed us to obtain aromatic and fresh wines, with a well-preserved natural acidity, but with paler colour than usual, a consequence of a lower ph. The first tastings reveal fresh and dense aromas, accompanied by a nice complexity on the palate, full of flavours and saline at the same time. Tangy and fruity, without any harshness, particularly pleasant and easy to drink.
Location
Issued from a selection of vineyards close to the village of Correns, just north of Brignoles in the heart of Provence.
Terroir
Clay & Limestone vineyard, partially in terraces located at an average of 350 meters. Cool climate for the area with big temperature swings between night and day.
Ageing
The grapes are harvested exclusively in the morning and sorted twice. Destemming. Pressurage direct for Cinsault, Grenache and Rolle. The Syrah is vinifies partially using the "saignee" method.
Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats (95%) and in barrels (5%) with batonnage.
Tasting
Beautiful pale pink gold colour, bright and vibrant with subtle silver highlights. The nose immediately reveals the elegance and subtlety of Miraval Rosé with its superb intense and floral aromatic bouquet, blending notes of hibiscus and amaryllis with a gourmet core with delicious aromas of peaches. The refinement continues on the palate with superb freshness, a full, fleshy, silky texture, gourmet aromas of crunchy fruit combined with a beautiful tension and great balance thanks to the natural acidity and the minerality typical of the Miraval terroir offering saline and calcareous notes. The finish is superb, long, delicately silky and irresistibly fresh. A magnificent vintage of Miraval with signature flavours.
