Focus on Regenerative Viticulture

La Réserve, Maison Mirabeau’s first cuvée from Domaine Mirabeau. This is a limited edition, complex gastronomic rosé wine that hails from their estate, which is nestled in the nature reserve at the foothill of the Maures mountains and is farmed using regenerative practices. Profits (50%) from La Réserve are donated to the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation.

The Cronks purchased the wine domaine in 2019 with the intent of continuing a tradition of growing grapes on the land. However, they discovered that soil was in poor condition after many years of heavy agriculture and the use of synthetic products. Undertaking the long process of converting the property to more organic farming the Maison Mirabeau team is focused on regenerative viticulture. While looking for an organization that could help shepherd the process they determined that none existed. So they established the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation in 2021.

Maison Mirabeau Wine

Stephen had been in the corporate world for 15 years and in August 2008 turned down a promotion that would have meant more money but also more stress, longer hours and less time with his young family. For many years the Cronks had been dreaming and talking about moving to France to make their own wine, but the moment never seemed quite right to make the big leap.

Soon after, a good redundancy offer seemed the perfect opportunity to turn the dream into reality and after selling their beloved house, they left the leafy suburbs of south-west London in August 2009. Their worldly possessions were packed up on the back of a truck and with barely a word of French between them, the family headed south to a small village called Cotignac, in the heart of Provence.

The Cronks spent a year getting their bearings, learning to live the provençal way, as Stephen was criss-crossing the country researching and finding the best vineyards to work with. The next step was setting up a small wine business with the principle objective of making a Provence rosé that would be regarded as one of the very best from the region, while building a brand that people would grow to love. In order to achieve this aim, they put together a highly experienced winemaking team and threw their heart and soul into the brand and innovative communications with their customers. Mirabeau is now being sold in more than 30 markets, has won medals and earned acclaim from some of the world’s toughest wine critics, but what really makes Stephen happiest is that their wines are an integral part of people having a great time together.
