Region: Côte des Blancs, France

Composition: Sparkling Rosé

History: Fleur de Miraval was born out of the shared passion and convictions of three families united around a straightforward idea… that of creating the rosé champagne they had dreamed of but that did not yet exist. So they sat down together to experiment, to blind taste, to debate with and challenge each other. Eventually, they reached a natural consensus, shaping their definition of a unique rosé champagne. The Fleur de Miraval Champagne House came into being when the Pitt and Perrin families, representing the worlds of the Arts and Wine, joined forces with a family who had had their roots in Champagne for many generations: the Péters. Together, they chose to give free rein to their creativity, with no holds barred, no limits, entertaining instead all possibilities to make a stunning rosé that no one had ever seen.

Tasting Notes: 

A delicate, slightly coppery, pink. The first nose is floral, elegant, and finely fruity, with aromas of pink grapefruit and vine peach. Touches of dried fruit and grilled almond evolve towards patisseries (brioche…) and lightly toasty notes. Diaphanous, with tremendous enthusiasm, Champagne ER2 opens after airing, developing more complex notes of spices, preserved lemon zest, mandarin, and white peach. The mouth is ample, with slightly buttery notes that are perfectly balanced by the freshness of citrus and fresh hazelnut, leading to a soaring finish of great persistence, underlined by a magnificently chalky minerality.
