“The idyllic charm of this land alongside the Mediterranean Sea is unique and just irresistible”. Fabrice Colonna, vineyard manager at Clos Mireille In 1936, Marcel Ott fell in love with a very old property in La Londe Les Maures, not far from the Mediterranean coast, known as Clos Mireille. Built by the Benedictine monks in the 18th century, the location is now a showcase of Provençal art de vivre. The vines of Clos Mireille are planted in clay-schist soil which is free of limestone. It is particularly unusual for a vineyard to be located so close to the Mediterranean Sea, at the foot of the hills, and this is responsible for the inimitable character of its wines. The estate produces a rosé and a white wine, both of which are fresh and well-rounded, with a lovely taut, fruity character and a hint of salinity. Clos Mireille is one of those places unlike any other in the world, captivating visitors with its natural beauty and very special atmosphere. Clos Mireille Rosé AOC Côtes de Provence “A particularly luscious rosé wine, a testament to a young vineyard with a passionate heart”. Nicolas Maurs, cellar master at Clos Mireille With its lovely, bright personality, the Clos Mireille Rosé is a reflection of its coastal terroir facing the Mediterranean Sea. The sea spray, the dry air in the hills and the abundant sunshine, combined with the limestone-free saline soil, create a wine with a unique and elegant character. Grenache, Cinsault, Rolle, Syrah Made from the typical grape varieties of the Côtes de Provence AOC, the blend adapts itself to each vintage year using a base of Grenache and Cinsault, complemented by Syrah and/or Rolle to bring out the full potential of this exceptional terroir. Behind its golden sandy hue, sometimes flecked with lovely coppery tints, the wine is fresh and intense. It is invigorating on entry to the palate, where it reveals notes of zest and lovely crisp fruit over a mineral backbone. The subtly persistent and slightly spicy finish adds freshness and sapidity. Marked contrasts in weather: an exceptionally wet winter and spring followed by a very hot, dry summer. Early harvest with increased vigilance. The wines display a fine balance between freshness and aromatic expression. TASTING NOTES TERROIR Bright appearance with a light, slightly salmony pink hue. Luscious nose of fresh apricot, complemented by floral notes and a hint of citrus. Juicy palate, with aromas of white nectarine. Taut finish with delicate notes of lemon zest.
