Mirabeau
Cotignac, Var
Set in the newly created terroir of Côtes de Provence AOC Notre Dame des Anges, the award-winning Mirabeau is a delightful, family-owned business with a curated boutique in Cotignac and a newly found wine estate. Its 14 hectares of sprawling vines - principally of the grenache, cinsault and rolle varieties - is fringed by umbrella pines, cork-oak trees and chestnut groves that form the Plaine des Maures nature reserve. The spectacular location chimes with South London founders Jeany and Stephen Cronk's commitment to Mirabeau's eco-credentials; moving beyond organic farming practices, they've adopted a regenerative-agriculture approach that supports a naturally thriving ecosystem - alpacas and sheep graze between the vines - and helps re-nourish the soil. If one of its four pale, vegan rosés don't take your fancy, try the botanical dry rosé gin.
