This is the number one favorite in France! A dry, sophisticated wine, remarkable in character and agreeable freshness. A beautiful pink robe; delicate, fresh fruit; well balanced; fruity, smooth, and supple, with the aromas of flowers and dried apricot. Classic!

Washington Post★★★  "Francophilic oeno-nerds (and, yes, there are some oeno-nerds who are not Francophilic) tend to idealize Provence for its food, its wine, its lifestyle. Well, at least I do. This wine, in an unusual bottle that looks like Mrs. Butterworth's on a diet, captures that fantasy.by Washington Post, DM , 2014."

Miraval Provence Rose AOC 2013

Bottle $29.99   10% off mix 6 $26.99     15% off mix 12 $25.49

Decanter Magazine 91 Points There is no need to hawk for customers with an overly seductive blush; this is all about pale, barely-there pink. There is a lovely floral nose, soft fragrant roses, and from the first taste there is a delicate structure that deepens on the palate. But, as the French would say 'il y a du vin' - meaning that there is a sense of power alongside the elegance, a structure and a fresh acidity that gives the wine persistency, with a grip of minerality that gives a delicious mouthwatering finish.
