Mirabeau Classic Cotes De Provence Rose 75cl

Pale, dry, and ridiculously easy to keep pouring, this Côtes de Provence rosé is exactly why southern France owns the rosé conversation. Built around classic Provençal grapes like Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault, it lands fresh rather than fruity-sweet, with red berries, citrus, and a salty little snap that makes snacks disappear fast.

This is the kind of French rosé that works when you want something crisp enough for a sunny afternoon but layered enough for dinner. If your usual rosé is all strawberry and no backbone, this is a smart next step. Still friendly. Just more grown-up in the glass.

• Appearance: Very pale salmon-pink, bright and clear, basically Provence in glass form.
• Nose: Wild strawberry and raspberry up front, followed by white peach, citrus zest, and a light floral lift.
• Palate: Dry and crisp, with fresh red fruit, grapefruit, peach skin, and a clean mineral edge that keeps it lively.
• Body: Light to medium-bodied, refreshing without feeling thin.
• Finish: Clean and zesty, with lingering citrus, red berry, and a faint savoury note that makes you want another sip.
• Food pairings: Grilled prawns with lemon, niçoise salad, goat cheese tart, or roast chicken with herbs.

Pour it well chilled with seafood, crisp salads, mezze, or a weeknight dinner that suddenly feels like it has its life together. It’s also a great “bring this to the table and don’t overthink it” wine for friends who claim they don’t care about wine, then mysteriously refill their glass.

What makes this bottle work is balance. The Grenache brings soft red fruit, Syrah adds a little structure and savoury depth, and Cinsault keeps everything light, bright, and dangerously drinkable. No lecture required. Just chill, open, and let Provence do its thing.

If you like Whispering Angel-style rosé but want to explore another Côtes de Provence name with a clean, elegant profile, this is very much in that lane. Think pale colour, dry finish, fresh fruit, and enough acidity to handle food rather than just float around the pool.

Fun Fact: Mirabeau was started by a British family who moved to Provence to make rosé, then went viral for showing how to open wine with a shoe. Useful? Debatable. Memorable? Absolutely.
