Description
With the 2024 vintage, Chateau Miraval introduces a high-end rosé, namely the Château Miraval Sainte-Victoire Rosé. This new wine is a beautiful quality rosé that will amaze every wine lover. The grapes come from the Provence region of Sainte-Victoire, famous for its rich limestone soil. This results in a beautiful, full, fruity rosé with refined minerality, which can be used gastronomically in various ways.
The terroir of Sainte-Victoire consists of plots with clay-limestone soils, located on slopes overlooking the upper reaches of the Arc Valley. These vineyards are spread over two opposite hills: to the south of the Sainte-Victoire mountain and to the north/northwest of the Aurélien mountain range. The Mediterranean climate in this region provides an exceptional amount of sunshine and is strongly influenced by the Mistral wind. The thermal amplitude (temperature variations between day and night) is particularly pronounced here, due to the more continental character of the terroir compared to the Arc Valley. Thanks to these conditions, the grapes ripen perfectly, while at the same time retaining their freshness and natural acidity.
For this selection of plots, the grapes were harvested at night to preserve all the freshness of the fruit. Vinification took place at controlled temperatures, always with the aim of preserving the fresh aromas. This was followed by a short maturation on fine yeast cells (lees) to give the wine more structure and depth.
Colour: Elegant pale pink, clear and brilliant in the glass.
Nose: Fine and refined, it opens with aromas of peach and fresh melon, which then develop into more complex notes of lychee and cherry blossom.
Taste: A perfect balance between seduction and freshness, typical of the chalky terroir of Sainte-Victoire.
The palate is fleshy, full and complex, with delicious aromas of peach, apricot and lychee, followed by a long, fresh, soft and salty finish.
The Miraval Sainte-Victoire Rosé is gastronomically versatile. Goes well with lightly grilled fish dishes, Mediterranean salads, (spiced) goat cheese or Provencal dishes such as ratatouille or tapenades.
ABOUT MIRAVAL
Château Miraval was owned by Jacques Loussier, jazz pianist and wine lover, since 1970. He produced the Miraval rosé under the name Pink Floyd. A few years ago, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt rented Château Miraval for a period of three years. In the meantime, in 2008, the Château was bought by the Hollywood couple and after their divorce, it is owned by Brad Pitt, who also stays here very regularly. The wine cellar dates from the early 19th century and was renovated in the 1990s; the wooden barrels rest in the cellar of the original farm (around 1300) that was completely renovated in 1995. The vineyards around the Château are situated on a slope at an altitude of 350 metres, which makes the Miraval wines so elegant and refined. The rosé is the result of a collaboration between the Hollywood couple and the respected Perrin wine family, one of the largest and most successful wine families in the world. They are particularly renowned for their world-class Château de Beaucastel estate on the Rhône. Here, art and knowledge come together. And that is exactly what Pitt & Perrin's wines reflect.

Bottled just a few weeks before my visit, Miraval's 2018 Cotes de Provence Rose was in fine form. A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 10% Syrah and 10% Rolle, it boasts floral and melon aromas, while on the palate, it's medium-bodied, plump and fleshy, with a zesty, tangerine-tinged finish.
After initialing and signing a six-page nondisclosure agreement under the eye of a security guard who may or may not have been ex-special forces (I can neither confirm nor deny that), I'm not sure exactly what I can tell you about this wonderful property. Since my last visit, close to ten years ago (pre Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie), the vineyards have been completely renovated, with some sections uprooted and replanted, new parcels developed or under development, and the winery interior has been drastically redone. Marc Perrin made the drive over from his office at Château de Beaucastel to show me around and taste through the wines. When fully developed, he said, there will be approximately 80 to 90 hectares of vines on the property's 800 hectares, leaving a lot of native forest as a buffer. That forest means a healthy population of wild boars, which need to be controlled through hunting and electric fences. Perrin's excitement as we toured the property was palpable. "It's a little bit like when we started Tablas Creek," he said. "A new experience." Although the rosé market has been growing rapidly in the past few years, he said he thinks it's just the beginning, as it has yet to catch on in Asia. There are three different rosés: Studio, from purchased grapes grown closer to the sea; the main rosé, from a mix of estate grapes and purchased fruit from neighbors; and Muse, a new, limited-production wine only from estate fruit. There's a bit of estate-grown white wine as well and an impressive Syrah grown on steep terraces. Perrin says there are no plans to commercialize the red at this time, so you'll just have to work your Hollywood connections to wangle an invitation from the celebrity owners.
"Rosé uit de Provence wereldwijd het populairst. Opmerkelijk genoeg echter in het assortiment van Miraval voordeliger dan hun witen rood. Minder van kwaliteit dan? Beslist niet. Tot in de puntjes verzorgde wijn. Het te verwachten pipsroze. Maar met een goede, pittige vulling. Met aantrekkelijk, vers rood fruit. Een puntje perzik en het zachtkruidige van de Zuid-Franse ambiance. Nog iets over de huidige eigenaren Brad Pitt en Angelina Jolie zeggen? Dat laten we graag aan RTL Boulevard over." Beoordeeld met een 8,5 door Harold Hamersma in De Grote Hamersma 2018.

Château Miraval is the rock star among the vineyards of Provence. That is not only due to the image of the winery, in which the Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt live with their families.
"Sting" and "The Cranberries" were already guests in the recording studio in the house. But the highlight is the creation of the song “The Wall” by Pink Floyd at Château Miraval! The Perrin winemaker family, itself a star in the international wine industry, is an important part of this because of its excellent wine. The winemaker Marc Perrin is responsible for the wines at the Château Miraval, while the Jolie-Pitt family provides the necessary prestige.
The climate in which Château Miraval is located is Mediterranean, the grapes grow here at an altitude of 350 meters on protected, landscaped terraces. Warm, sunny weather during the day, alternates with cool nights, giving the grapes a lot of freshness and balance. The terroir is influenced by clay and lime, which provide the plants with water on one side and drains abundant water on the other, thus producing healthy, ripened grapes.
The Château Miraval and the surrounding village of Correns are the first “organic village” in all of France. In the meanwhile world-famous rosé from Château Miraval, a Blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah and Rolle is made. For the creamy content of the Rosé wine from Château Miraval, 10% of the wine is aged in old wooden barrels. A fruity, very convincing taste and concept rosé wine, in which creativity and beauty can come together in a gentle elegance. It is not always successful when a famous person or family commits to a wine, although there are many good examples (just think of Bocelli with his wines), but in the case of Miraval, the wine was already of top quality before Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt bought the domain and luckily they also left the making of the beautiful Miraval Rose and Miraval Blanc to the experts. Both the Miraval rose and the white wine version of the Miraval are among the top of the Provence wines. The problem is that the worldwide demand for the Miraval rose is unprecedentedly large and that wine estate certainly cannot meet the demand, so supply is certainly limited and advice is to store this in time. We had periods with a nice early spring when the Miraval rosé was already sold out in May.
