Miraval : Sainte-Victoire 2025

Characteristics and tasting notes of the Sainte-Victoire 2025 by Miraval

Tasting

Appearance
This wine reveals a very pale pink hue, both clear and luminous, enhanced by delicate rose-gold reflections.

Nose
Particularly expressive and remarkably delicate, the aromatic bouquet exudes a beautiful freshness. It unveils scents of peach, raspberry and redcurrant, harmoniously interwoven with citrus notes and a subtle mineral touch.

Palate
The palate offers a perfect balance between generous fruity richness and remarkable freshness. The attack unfolds with flavourful notes of small red berries and white-fleshed fruits, before stretching into a long finish marked by lemony and saline accents. The whole shines with elegance.

Food and wine pairings
This cuvée pairs wonderfully with Mediterranean cuisine, such as salade niçoise, grilled vegetables or fish à la plancha. It also brilliantly accompanies white meats, ceviches, sushi or fresh goat's cheeses.

Serving and ageing
To fully appreciate this 2025 vintage, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 8 and 10 °C.

The elegance and freshness of a great Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire rosé

The estate
Located in Correns, in the heart of the Var region in Provence, the Miraval estate has its roots in medieval times. Now a true icon, it combines an exceptional viticultural heritage with a unique musical history thanks to its famous recording studios. Today, the property is co-owned by Brad Pitt and the Campari Group, while the renowned Famille Perrin oversees the technical direction. Carried by international acclaim, the brand embodies a genuine Mediterranean art of living, producing luxurious rosés that celebrate elegance, freshness and the pure expression of their terroir.

The vineyard
The grapes come from hillside plots with clay-limestone soils, overlooking the upper Arc valley. This terroir of the Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire appellation extends across two opposite slopes: to the south of the eponymous mountain and to the north-northwest of the Auréliens massif. The Mediterranean climate provides exceptional sunshine and powerful mistral winds. The wide temperature variations, linked to the continental nature of this area, encourage optimal ripening of the berries while naturally preserving a perfect balance between acidity and freshness.

The vintage
The year was marked by several episodes of intense heat in Provence, with notable temperature peaks in August. These climatic conditions caused water stress on certain plots and led to early ripening. The berries, smaller than usual, proved particularly concentrated and endowed with great aromatic power.

Winemaking and ageing
To preserve all their liveliness, the grapes are harvested at night. The fermentations then take place under strict temperature control to maintain optimal aromatic freshness. Finally, the wine benefits from a short ageing on fine lees, providing it with structure and texture.

Grape varieties
This wine is made from a blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah.
