James recently tasted the latest release of Fleur de Miraval Champagne Exclusivement Rosé NV in Hong Kong with Alexis Blondel, the assistant winemaker for the partners behind the Fleur de Miraval project: Brad Pitt, Pierre Peters Champagnes and the Perrin family of Rhone.
Blondel explained what went into what James called the "unique blend," and said the only goal and purpose in making the wine was "to make the best rosé Champagne ever."
James said this Fleur de Miraval is "really exceptional" and "much better than the first two releases." It’s complex and full-bodied with very fine bubbles and a creamy texture comprising 25 percent rosé 2018 and 75 percent chardonnay grand crus, but only about 20,000 bottles were made.
