Mirabeau Names YC Media Agency of Record for Stateside Launch of Its Rosé

Phenomenal Provencal Rosé Debuts in U.S.

New York, NY, April 06, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Mirabeau Wine has retained YC Media as their agency of record to handle the launch of Mirabeau Rosé in the United States, due to hit the market May 1st, 2014.

Mirabeau Wine began in the summer of 2009 when Stephen Cronk and his family moved from London to a small town called Cotignac in the heart of Provence, France. Five years later, Mirabeau is sold in nine countries and has won a number of international awards, including a Silver medal at the prestigious International Wine & Spirits Competition. Their Mirabeau Rosé is a classic Côtes de Provence AOC blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault that has been described as “heart-achingly beautiful” by The Daily Mail UK. The Mirabeau winemaking team is highly experienced with over 50 years’ expertise between them, and they are passionate about Mirabeau’s simple philosophy: to work with only the very best vineyards in the region, combine old world with new world winemaking philosophies, and never compromise on quality. Mirabeau has also successfully capitalized on social media to increase their winery's brand recognition with a viral video of Stephen opening wine with a shoe that has more than 5 million views on YouTube.

As well as a passion for making outstanding wine, Stephen is on a mission to demystify wine for consumers and has made over 200 videos covering subjects as diverse as "How We Make Rosé Wine" to "Tomato Ketchup and How People Taste Food and Wine Differently."

“We are so excited to be handling Mirabeau’s introduction to the U.S. market,” said Kimberly Yorio, President & Founder of YC Media. “Rosé is incredibly popular right now, the wines are extraordinary, and Stephen’s story is unlike any other.”

YC Media, a New York-based public relations agency specializing in food-and-beverage clients. will handle national press, media relations, and social media for Mirabeau Rosé’s launch in the United States, to generate awareness and excitement around the Mirabeau brand. The firm combines communication expertise, a thorough knowledge of the media, and passion for food and wine to develop highly effective and integrated PR strategies for its clients.

“It was clear when meeting with Kimberly Yorio and her team at YC Media, that their enthusiasm and experience are the perfect communication partners to bring our product and vision to U.S. consumers,” said Stephen Cronk, owner of Mirabeau Wine.
