Mirabeau’s Pure Provence Rosé 2025 is a Côtes de Provence AOP rosé built in a classic, pale, dry Mediterranean style, with enough flavor concentration to handle food as well as aperitif duty. Fruit is sourced primarily from south-facing sites around Mont Sainte-Victoire, with additional components from central Var’s “Golden Triangle” near the Maure mountains—areas valued for limestone influence, cooler nights, and freshness. The 2025 blend is Grenache-led (67%) with Syrah (14%) and Cinsault (14%), plus small amounts of other local varieties (about 5% total). At around 12.7% ABV and roughly 0.3 g/L residual sugar, it is essentially bone-dry.
In the cellar, Mirabeau emphasizes retention of delicate aromas: grapes are harvested at night, gently direct-pressed (with some cold maceration/“stabulation”), then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel under inert gas to limit oxidation. There is no oak; the wine sees a short lees period and is bottled young. The producer describes “a pale rosé with peachy [notes], citrus zest and a herbaceous garrigue note,” finishing with a crisp, mineral edge—an accurate stylistic marker for the category.
Professional reviews for the 2025 are notably strong, led by an excellent 92-point score from Decanter (3/11/2026). Decanter calls it “Typical Provence rosé in its light dainty florals,” but adds that it has “great concentration and loads of tasty orange rind and lemon citrus acidity,” concluding that “Consistency and class really are Mirabeau’s calling cards.”
Vinous also rated it highly at 91 points (6/1/2026), with Billy Norris describing “a classically styled, super-crushable Provençal Rosé.” He highlights “apricot, white cherry, toasted spices… and grapefruit zest,” noting that “the acids, though bright, are particularly well calibrated and integrated,” and that the wine “impresses most with its sense of proportion.”
Overall, Pure Provence Rosé 2025 offers reliable Côtes de Provence typicity—floral lift, citrus-driven bite, and balanced mid-palate—backed by critic-affirmed quality at an accessible price tier.
