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) in 2011. 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.
Angélina Jolie sold her shares in 2021 following the divorce from her actor husband. 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.

Miraval, the name we tend to associate with Provence on account of its renowned rosé, known as Brad Pitt’s rosé, is also reflected in this Brut Rosé Champagne called Petite Fleur. The American actor has launched his own signature Champagne, under the guidance of the illustrious Rhône-Alpes Perrin family. This Champagne is blended from a majority of Chardonnay grapes, complemented by a red base wine from 2019 produced from Pinot Noir. Aged on the lees for three years, the minimum required by the appellation’s specifications, the sparkling wine was disgorged in 2023 and dosed with 4.5 g of sugar per litre before bottling.
On tasting, the wine is predominantly floral. Discerning noses will detect aromas of peony, fresh rose and hawthorn. These aromas are complemented by notes of red fruit such as redcurrant and raspberry, along with grapefruit, blood orange and tangerine. A fine minerality enlivens the whole, bringing lots of freshness.
