Like an ode to chromatic vagaries, a champagne from the Fleur de Miraval champagne house wears its colors proudly, and Petite Fleur is no exception. Resolutely rosé, Petite Fleur follows the same philosophy as the iconic ER (E for Exclusively and R for Rosé) of which four editions have been released so far. Only its spirit varies.
Drawing inspiration from the tradition of the great rosés of Champagne to create a blend comprising mainly Grand and Premier Cru Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs, with a touch of Premier Cru Pinot Noir from Vertus, Petite Fleur is most definitely classic but also the result of unique craftsmanship.
The only champagne to appear in the most recent Wine Spectator Top 100 wines, Petite Fleur offers up its secrets on tasting. Of immense purity, Petite Fleur is incredibly fresh and delicate. Its chalky weft and its sublime salinity, the hallmark of the Miraval style, reveal its origins: the superb crus of the chalky terroirs of the Côte des ' Blancs.
CHAMPAGNE FLEUR DE MIRAVAL, THE ONLY CHAMPAGNE HOUSE EXCLUSIVELY DEVOTED TO ROSÉ CHAMPAGNE
The idea of CHAMPAGNE FLEUR DE MIRAVAL sprang from the association of the Pitt and Perrin families, who had already united the wine world with that of the arts through the introduction of Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé in 2012, and a third family with roots in Champagne for six generations: the Péters family. Together, they chose to give free rein to their creativity, with no holds barred, no limits, entertaining instead all possibilities, to make a stunning rosé the likes of which no-one had ever seen before.
Made from 65% Chardonnay from a base of the 2020 vintage, 30% Chardonnay from the Fleur de Miraval Perpetual Reserve, and 5% Pinot Noir vinified as a red wine, Petite Fleur is a champagne of timeless elegance. Its noble origins and traditional vinification impart great purity and a diaphanous character to this champagne. It opens with a magnificent bouquet of spring flowers with notes of peony and hawthorn, interwoven with bright, crisp red fruit such as raspberry and redcurrant. The mouth is exquisitely juicy and full, with finely chiseled notes of fresh citrus, lemon, ruby pomelo, and mandarin, and a subtly gossamer finish.
Petite Fleur is the very essence of its birthplace: the magnificent terroirs of the Côte des Blancs, anchored in the noble purity of chalk. Matured on lees, it is allowed to mellow gently for three years in the cool darkness of the cellar. And for an extra touch of refinement, this emblematic champagne proclaims its affiliation to the prestigious Champagne House by carrying the famous Black and Pink colors on its label. The solid black glass bottle, engraved with the 3P logo symbolizing the three founding families of Fleur de Miraval - Péters, Perrin, and Pitt - is produced exclusively for Maison Fleur de Miraval.
