Chateau Miraval Cote de Provence Rosé 2013
Côtes de Provence, Provence, Sud de France, FranceHaving stars like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt behind any wine can be a two-edge sword. In this case it's the good edge thanks to an excellent piece of dirt in Provence and a first rate winemaking partner in the Perrin family of Chateau Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape-famed. Like last year the colour is Provencal perfection, as is the nose that mixes fresh red fruits and yellow watermelon. The palate is an intriguing mix of savoury (garrigue) with electric stony, citrus minerality. A wine that makes you salivate from the first sip, offers delicate fruit and finishes dry. The blend is equally shared by cinsault, grenache, syrah and rolle (vermentino), Salad nicoise is the classic match here.Tasted: 20 May 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $29.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
