Mirabeau La Réserve Rosé

Mirabeau La Réserve Rosé

Spirit Description

La Réserve, Maison Mirabeau’s first cuvée from Domaine Mirabeau, is a statement of Stephen and Jeany’s hopes and dreams. This limited edition, complex gastronomic rosé wine hails from their estate, which is nestled in the nature reserve at the foothill of the Maures mountains and is farmed using regenerative practices. 50% of profits from La Réserve are donated to the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation, a foundation co-founded by Stephen to bring more information and research to this approach for prospective farmers and the general public.

Acclaim
“This estate wine from Stephen and Jeany Cronk is a small pet project from their regeneratively farmed vineyard on the Massif des Maures and perfectly illustrates how a classic Provence rosé can be given extra interest with low yields and subtle use of wood. Sweet, creamy saline aromas and extra weight and structure on the palate come from the oak, supporting ripe strawberries and creamy fruit without dominating the flavours. Still very youthful and fresh.” — Decanter, Jul 2024
“After devastating wildfires in 2021, 2022 has yielded an impressive Grenache-led rosé of great concentration and finesse. Floral aromas of violets and roses, bright pops of redcurrant and wafts of honey. Silken and creamy in the mouth, serious body and structure.” — Decanter, Dec 2023

Wine Production

In conversion to organic and regeneratively farmed, soil health and biodiversity is at the heart of Stephen and Jeany’s work at their estate. Half of the wine is barrelled early in lightly toasted oak barrels, where it matures slowly with periodic stirring.
