Rose around the world has been experiencing a revolution and a revelation, demand has increased 10-fold and hence so has the quality. Chicken and egg stuff, not sure which came first, most likely simultaneously. In the EU it is illegal to blend red and white wine together, except to make Champagne, the reason for this practice is to maintain consistency of colour and house style, year in and year out. Fleur de Miraval, the first Champagne house dedicated to the production of Rose, shows how far this superb style has come over the last 10-15 years. The artistic concept behind the creation of Fleur de Miraval is the blending of Chardonnays that have noble, autolytic evolutionary notes and supremely fresh Pinot Noirs with slightly acidulous, red fruit notes. The harmony is created in the blending and what a majestical drop, they have produced.

a delicate yet energetic bouquet with aromas of pink grapefruit and blood orange, and upon a deeper inhale redcurrants and fresh raspberries emerge, alongside hints of acacia.

elegance is mirrored on the palate also, with flavours of almond, brioche, and lemon zest merging towards a salty, saline, and with notes of iodine on the finish. A champagne of nobility that speaks of the chalk/limestone soils inherent to this magnificent part of the world. Drinking superbly now and will marry well with seafood and fresh salmon.
