Côtes de Provence Château de Miraval 2020
The wine
This rosé is vinified and bottled by the Perrin family who live in the Rhone Valley. It has real star quality in more than one way because it is produced jointly with the vineyard's owners, Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The cuvée is pale pink in colour with a delicate aromatic bouquet of tangy red berries, citrus fruits and white flowers. The palate is rounded and supple with a pleasing fresh quality for balance. It is at its best in its youth and is ideal either as an aperitif or paired with Mediterranean cuisine.
About the Producer Miraval
You perhaps didn’t expect to hear us talking about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at iDealwine…but there’s a first time for everything! The Hollywood stars got their hands on the magnificent Provençal Château Miraval in Correns (Var) a few years ago. Not being wine experts themselves, they entrusted the Perrin family, a veritable Rhône institution, to guide them. Much more than a whim, the wines produced here have now attained worldwide recognition, and the estate’s rosé was awarded World’s Best Rosé by the trustworthy Wine Spectator. In the glass, we find all the finesse and elegance that we love in a regional rosé thanks to their delicate vinification process.
Miraval is also a location closely linked to the arts by its owners, who seek to continue doing so, in particular with the famous Studio Miraval – a recording studio founded in 1977 and frequented by some of the greatest artists of its time – but also with sculpture and painting. Surrounded by pines, olive trees, oaks and vines, this Provençal château is definitely in a class of its own, under the spotlight, often only a short distance away. In 2020, the Pitt family teamed up with Champagne house Pierre Peters to produce a rosé Champagne. The only Champagne house to produce exclusively rosé Champagne.
