Why Winter at our Vineyard in Provence is Busy

December 13, 2023

Come December and January; it’s wintertime at Domaine Mirabeau. Even if we are in Provence and the days are generally quite warm here, the nights are chilly and drop to sub-zero temperatures. The trees and vines have lost their last leaves. While it’s time for nature to sleep and repose itself, we, the Domaine Team, …

Château Margüi Rosé Wine Pairing

September 13, 2022

Today’s wine and food pairing for Provence WineZine is one I approached with some trepidation.
