In 2009, Jeany and Stephen Cronk packed up their London life and moved to Provence with dreams of making world-class rosé—but first they had to learn French and find trusted partners to help them achieve their winemaking goals. Luckily, their dreams—bolstered by hard work and tenacity—coincided with the rise of consumer interest in rosé.
We are excited to introduce Maison Mirabeau’s premium rosés to our customers, including their Mirabeau X Côteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rosé, Forever Summer Rosé, and Pure Côtes de Provence Rosé. À votre santé!
The Cronks believe in a sustainable and gentle-to-the-earth lifestyle. At Domaine Mirabeau, their 20-hectare estate, there are 14 hectares of vines, a full organic vegetable garden, and a farm full of free-range pigs, ducks, and chickens, plus a pair of alpacas and three teenagers.
The estate is committed to Regenerative Agriculture, a set of farming practices that increase biodiversity in soil organic matter. La Réserve, the first cuvée from Domaine Mirabeau, is an embodiment of these practices and a statement of the couple’s hopes and dreams. Stephen Cronk is also a co-founder of the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation, a non-profit which promotes the understanding and benefits of greater biodiversity in viticulture.
Maison Mirabeau is one of very few companies in the wine industry to seek certification as a B Corporation, a designation that a business demonstrates high social and environmental performance as well as transparent business practices.
The terroir in Provence is distinctive, it is not one-note. Domaine Mirabeau is located in Notre-Dame-des-Anges, a newly created subregion within the Côtes de Provence AOC. Sourcing from estate vines and vineyards across the region, Maison Mirabeau experiments with new and varying expressions teased from typical Provençal varietals.
The Mirabeau X Coteaux D’Aix-en-Provence Rosé hails from vines grown above sea level in the north of the AOC. This is a classic and popular rosé full of peach, nectarine, citrus, and whiffs of almond blossom. The 100% Grenache Forever Summer Rosé is exactly why “rosé all day” was coined—it’s ripe with raspberry, pomegranate, and white cherry with a hint of white pepper. Mirabeau’s flagship is the Pure Rosé. From vines harvested at night at the base of Monte Sainte-Victoire, this rosé is vibrant with peach, pear, grapefruit, and a satisfying mineral finish.
