In today's tasting David Allen MW, Wine Searcher's Wine-Director, tries a Cotes de Provence which is perhaps the ultimate celebrity wine. The wine in Question is from Chateau Miraval and it is their 2022 rose.

Château Miraval is a popular wine producer from the southern French region of Provence. While it is known for its intense, flinty rosé wines made from Grenache and Cinsaut, it is perhaps better known for its association with Hollywood film stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The estate made simple Vin de Pays wines until the 1990s, when viticulture was modernized. Pitt and Jolie acquired the estate in 2011, having previously leased it for 3 years. They were married there in 2014. Following their divorce in 2016 Jolie sold her shares in the company.

Since 1970 Chateau Miraval has housed a major recording studio where the likes of Pink Floyd and Sting recorded songs – a wine was even named for the former. Château Miraval's wines are now made in partnership with the Perrin family.

The 500 hectare (1200 acre) estate features a rustic château, olive groves and a 30 hectare (74 acre) vineyard. The wines are made from a mix of estate-grown and contract-grown fruit.

Miraval makes four wines – the flagship Côtes de Provence Rosé, two white wines made from Rolle, and a red wine which falls under the Vin de France designation.
