Mirabeau Rosé Gin was launched in 2019 by French Rosé wine producer Mirabeau, founded by Stephen and Jeany Cronk and based near Saint-Tropez on their 20-hectare estate and vineyard. The gin is inspired by Mirabeau's wines, the Provence region and France's perfume trade, and it came to fruition after discovering that the alcohol recovered when producing low ABV wines made for an ideal base for gin. Following a 24 hour maceration with 7 core botanicals, the gin is then distilled for 6 hours in a traditional copper pot still with lemon zest, rose, jasmine, lavender and bay in a vapour basket. The grape base spirit used is extracted from Mirabeau's 'Forever Summer' wine and Mirabeau's Provence Rosé is also added to the distillation.
The Gin Guide Review
Mirabeau Rosé Gin is instantly distinct from the familiar associations with 'pink gin'. Rather than been heavily sweet or one-dimensionally fruity, it is dry with a prominent floral character that is well balanced by herbaceous notes and lemon. The grape base spirit helps deliver a full body and generous mouthfeel, and there's a subtle connection with the characteristics of Mirabeau's Rosé wines - it's a nice touch which makes it feel like a fitting and considered addition to the product range. When served with tonic the herbaceous and floral characters are amplified and lemon peel makes for an ideal garnish starting point. - Paul Jackson, 2020
