Château Miraval is a wine producer in 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.
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.
History
The estate made simple Vin de Pays wines until the 1990s, when viticulture was modernized. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie acquired the estate in 2009, and were married there in 2014. Previously, Miraval had housed a major recording studio established by French pianist Jacques Loussier where the likes of Pink Floyd and Sting recorded songs.
Château Miraval's wines are now made in partnership with the Perrin family. Brad Pitt remians involved with the operation following his high-profile breakup with Jolie.
