Description
The finesse and complexity of an exceptional rosé champagne by Jolie-Pitt and Perrin
The estate
The only Champagne house exclusively dedicated to rosé champagne, Fleur de Miraval is the result of an ambitious project born from the partnership between the Jolie-Pitt and Perrin families. Conceived with the same approach as an artistic creation and with the full involvement of Brad Pitt, Fleur de Miraval is the culmination of five years of work and research carried out in utmost secrecy. Based in Mesnil-sur-Oger, in Champagne for six generations and a récoltant-manipulant since 1919, the Péters family joined the Jolie-Pitt and Perrin adventure, bringing their expertise and winemaking know-how. A fan of Château de Beaucastel wines and close to the Perrin family, Rodolphe Péters worked closely on the project.
The wine
Fleur de Miraval ER1, for Édition Rosé number 1, was born from the desire to create a rosé champagne with a different style, blending old chardonnay vines with young pinot noir vines. This cuvée also pays tribute to the Comtesse de Miraval, born in Provence, who, according to legend, drank only rosé champagne.
A rare and exceptional wine, Fleur de Miraval Édition Rosé is available in limited quantities, with only 20,000 bottles produced for this first edition. To protect the wine from the dangers of light until it is opened, each bottle of Fleur de Miraval Édition Rosé is lacquered. ER1 marks the first opus in a collection to be discovered over the years.
Vinification and aging
This rosé champagne is aged on lees for three years before release.
Blend
75% chardonnay of various ages and 25% young pinot noir.
Characteristics and tasting notes of Fleur de Miraval ER1
Tasting
Fleur de Miraval Édition Rosé ER1 displays a subtle pink hue. This great rosé champagne reveals a delicate and vibrant aromatic bouquet, highlighting beautiful notes of fresh, tangy red berries reminiscent of redcurrant and raspberry. All the nobility of chardonnay is revealed through mineral, saline, and iodized notes, reflecting the identity of the great chalky terroirs.
