Miraval is one of the most popular rosé wines in the world and it’s easy to see why from the very first sip. In the glass the wine is a gorgeous pale coppery hue with enticing aromas of peaches, wild strawberries and dried flowers. On the palate there’s a zippy freshness which is perfect for a hot summer’s day along with delicate ripe red cherry and apricot flavours that linger long on the taste buds.

This elegant rosé is ideal for enjoying on its own, but it has sufficient structure and acidity to make a versatile partner for food. Excellent partners include ceviche, pan-fried fish, light summer salads, or aged hard cheeses like pecorino or cheddar. Light-hearted and easy-going, this delicious rosé would also be at home in a casual barbecue setting as an accompaniment to spicy chicken.

Jointly owned by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the Miraval estate is situated in the village of Correns in Provence and covers a total of 400 hectares of which 30 are dedicated to vines. Prior to its purchase by its current celebrity owners, Miraval was owned by American winemaker Tom Bove who transformed the property into one of France’s top organic estates.

Stephen and Jeany Cronk left behind their corporate London lives a decade ago to pursue their dream of making wine in the southern French region of Provence which is famed for its delicate rosé wines. With help from Master of Wine Angela Muir MW, the family released their first vintage in 2011 and quickly gained a reputation for producing deliciously light and fragrant rosés which are today sold all over the world.

Their Mirabeau Pure was first made in 2014 and aims to capture “Provence in a glass”, reminding the drinker of long summer days on the Côte d’Azur no matter where in the world you happen to be. The wine is crafted from a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah grown on clay and limestone soils with the grapes harvested at night to preserve the freshness and aromatics.

The gorgeous ballet slipper hue is complimented by delicate hints of citrus, crushed red berries, and subtle floral notes. The first sip reveals a zingy freshness with plenty of mouthwatering acidity, summer berry flavours and a very pure, clean finish. This style of rosé is ideal for serving as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to a huge range of dishes including fish, chicken salads, seafood and sushi.

The light body and crisp, clean finish make this wine an excellent choice to serve as a summertime aperitif or to serve alongside a generous platter of fruits de mer or grilled fish dishes.

Jean-Luc creates this delicious rosé from grapes grown in his pioneering vineyards nestled in the hills above Marseilles.

To preserve the pure character of the grape varieties and the distinctive taste of the terroir, Jean-Luc ferments the wine in stainless steel tanks.

Chateau d’Esclans is known all over the world for their famous Provencal rosé, Whispering Angel, but the hidden secret of the estate is their sensational Rock Angel. Made predominantly with Grenache and Rolle grapes grown in prime vineyards in La Motte en Provence, the harvest is conducted from sunrise to noon to maximise the levels of freshness in the finished wine.

When the grapes arrive at the winery they are carefully sorted three times to ensure only the very best quality raw ingredients are used. Following a light pressing the grape must is fermented in a combination of 600 litre barrels and stainless steel tanks which helps to add extra complexity while showcasing the natural bright freshness of the grapes. The wine is then allowed to rest and settle for a short time before being bottled.

The result is a serious and refined rosé which is equally suited to serving as an elegant aperitif or savouring alongside a long leisurely lunch or dinner. The vibrant red fruit and citrus character and light body make this an incredibly versatile gastronomic wine which pairs well with seafood, fish, chicken, and vegetarian dishes. Rock Angel also makes a sensational partner for fresh pasta served in a creamy sauce or a light fruit-based dessert if you wish to drink it throughout your meal.

Whispering Angel has been the talk of Provence, if not the wine world at large, for some time now. This tantalizing blend of Grenache, Rolle, Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvedre is one of the most exciting cuvées from Côtes de Provence to grace the shelves of wine shops in a long time. A supremely drinkable rosé that will have you pouring “just one more glass” for yourself and your friends.

It is a pale coral pink in the glass. Enticing aromas of juicy ripe strawberry, white peach, passionfruit and lemon peel permeate the nostrils. Upon the palate, it appears bone dry. Ribbons of gossamer silk texture and an enchanting slipperiness advance at just the right moment, giving way to charming and refined layers of white peach, cherry, tangerine and citrus, with hints of more exotic spices, passion fruit, and mango. White peach, dried mango, and white cherry all ride out on a wave of honey tinged with sage. Streaked with racy minerality and a lingering river-stone and pink grapefruit blossom aftertaste.

Enjoy Whispering Angel chilled at 8°C, as an aperitif or with grilled fish and shellfish dishes, grilled poultry, soft mild cheeses, salads, berries and stone fruits with fresh cream, Frito misto or charcuterie.

Château d’Esclans is located on an elevated plateau on the Mediterranean coast near the Georges de Pennafort. It lies just 25 kilometers northwest of the ancient Roman city of Frejus.

The winery is owned by the Cronk family who relocated from London to France with a dream of leaving behind the corporate world. They soon collaborated with Master of Wine Angela Muir who helped them create their very first vintage.

In a very short time Mirabeau has received global recognition and the wines are now sold in 50 different countries around the world. The winery has won a slew of accolades including Top 3 Provence Rosé for their Mirabeau Classic and regular gold medals at the IWC and Global Rosé Masters.
