Have you heard of Pêches de Vigne? These scrumptious little fruit appear around grape harvest time in France. And my tenth Pink of Christmas is redolent of that heady scent. Pure Mirabeau has white peach on the nose, then a crispness on the palate more like a typical white wine than a rosé. Best of both worlds, for those who like their Provence pink dry. This is the perfect apéro wine. Great to serve as a palate sharpener before the rich food of this season. Plus, Mirabeau has excellent eco credentials and deserves our support. I note that and are currently fighting it out on price at £14 per bottle. Not bad at all for a wine I rate at 18.5 points.

About this Vineyard

Founded in 2010 by Stephen and Jeany Cronk from the spare room of their home in the Provencal village of Cotignac, Maison Mirabeau has grown into one of Provence’s most celebrated rose houses, with distribution across the UK, Europe, and beyond. Their 20-hectare Domaine near La Garde-Freinet in the Cotes de Provence sub-region of Notre Dame des Anges is farmed using regenerative and organic practices on distinctive pink sandstone soils — Stephen even co-founded the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation. In early 2026, Chilean wine giant Concha y Toro announced the acquisition of a majority stake, a testament to the global brand the Cronks have built, with Stephen staying on as CEO.
