Mirabeau’s Cuvée Pure Rosé 2024 from the celebrated Côtes-de-Provence appellation delivers the quintessential charm that has established Provence as a reference for dry rosé wines. While the precise blend specifics are not confirmed, most Côtes-de-Provence rosés favour red grape varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, resulting in a pale and delicate wine. Cuvée Pure is acclaimed for its clarity, fresh character and restrained fruit profile. Expect bright aromas of fresh red berries—strawberry, raspberry—echoed by floral nuances and a subtle citrus zest. The 2024 vintage suggests freshness, vibrancy and an approachability ideal for enjoyment from a young age.
Côtes-de-Provence stretches along the Mediterranean coast, defined by cooling marine influences and abundant sunshine. The soils are diverse, with schist, quartz and limestone prominent, giving the wines their lively acidity and mineral edge. This region’s winemaking tradition dates back to Greek and Roman times, and today it is globally recognised for its elegant, food-friendly rosés. The blend of warm days and cool nights helps preserve crispness and aromatic purity, essential features of fine Provençal rosé.
Mirabeau’s Cuvée Pure Rosé is marvellous as an apéritif but also shines at the table. Classic Provençal fare such as salade niçoise, grilled sea bream with herbs, or anchoïade pairs beautifully, as does sushi, light Mediterranean tapas or even a fresh goat’s cheese. Its zesty freshness cleanses the palate, making it particularly suitable alongside aromatic summer cuisine or a platter of seasonal vegetables with olive oil dip.
To fully appreciate its aromatic delicacy and refreshing structure, serve this rosé well-chilled, ideally at 8-10°C. Enjoy young to relish its purity and vitality, and for the best experience, use a tulip-shaped glass to enhance its expressive bouquet.
