Fleur de Miraval Exclusivement Rose

• A sophisticated rosé with complex aromas
• Based on Chardonnay Grand Cru + lots of reserve wines

The good thing about this champagne is that Brad Pitt didn't make it himself, but Rodolphe Peters, winemaker of the cult champagne grower Pierre Peters, is behind it. The Perrin family, known for Chateau de Beaucastel, is also involved in the bot. It would now be obvious to underestimate the result as an overpriced marketing gimmick. However, it consists of 75% Chardonnay grapes from the best Grand Cru of the Cote de Blancs, blended with Pinot Noir from Vertus, which gets its red colour from a few days on the skins. The speciality is the many old reserve wines that underpin Fleur de Miraval with nutty, caramel notes. The spicy, smoky notes also come from the oak barrels in which some of the base wines are matured. It is floral with hints of roses and peonies, but also has hints of blood orange and redcurrants. Eclusivement Rose, abbreviated to ER, is a very special rose champagne that is gaining more and more fans.
