Fleur de Miraval, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Rose, Champagne 0.75

Region : Champagne         Grape varieties : Chardonnay & Pinot Noir       As reported by Decanter.com in February 2020, the Miraval co-owners had joined with the Péters family in Champagne to begin a new project. The Péters family, established in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, is internationally renowned for its Champagne, and especially the blanc de blancs style, which it has made from its own grapes since 1919. ‘Fleur de Miraval is the culmination of five years of work, research and tasting, done in the utmost secrecy,’ said Rodolphe Péters, who today runs his family’s 20-hectare (50-acre) estate, of which around 16 hectares (40 acres) lie in grand cru vineyard sites.       Tasting notes :        An extraordinary achievement this, made by the famously difficult saignée method, yet with a wonderful onion skin colour and poised aromas of lemongrass, small red berried fruit and pink grapefruit. Rodolphe Péters from the eponymous Champagne house in Le Mesnil sur Oger demonstrates why he is seen as one of the top winemakers in the region.
