La Réserve Rosé

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.

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.

Tasting Notes

Lovely minerality and aromas of yellow peach, candied apricot and freesia harmonizing with notes of brioche and orange zest. A light grip and a subtle saline note provide length and balance, completing its gastronomic character with a beautiful acidity across the palate and a slightly smoky finish with notes of dried apricot.

Food Pairing

Grilled Lobster, Dry-aged beef on BBQ, fresh goat cheese
