Champagne Fleur de Miraval Exclusivement Rosé 3, or ER3, is the third edition of the house’s flagship rosé Champagne, bringing together Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs with Pinot Noir from Vertus Premier Cru.
The blend is unusually complex, incorporating thirteen different vintages. Chardonnay from the house’s perpetual reserve provides maturity and depth, while older Blanc de Blancs Champagne is reincorporated through Fleur de Miraval’s distinctive Remise en Cercle process. Fresh Pinot Noir, gently vinified as an infusion rosé, brings color, red fruit and energy.
Wild strawberry and red currant are joined by white flowers, citrus and subtle smoky notes. As the wine develops, candied fruit, gentle spice, toasted almond and fresh hazelnut become more apparent.
The palate is precise and energetic, with very fine bubbles and a persistent chalky, saline character. Despite the complexity of the reserve wines, ER3 retains remarkable freshness and delicacy.
This is a rosé Champagne defined less by richness than by finesse, mineral tension and the balance between mature Chardonnay and vibrant Pinot Noir.
Food Pairing: Pair with caviar, scallops, lobster, tuna tartare, hamachi, smoked salmon, roast poultry, or dishes incorporating almonds and delicate spices.
Serve around 48–52°F in a tulip-shaped Champagne or white-wine glass.
