What it pairs with
-
Sushi platter
Miraval's saline and citrus finish handles raw fish; the wine is fresh enough not to overpower delicate flavours. -
Salt-baked sea bass
The seasoned fish meets the wine's saline core; lemon-zest finish refreshes the rich flesh. -
Goat cheese tart
Lactic-tangy goat cheese aligns with the rose's red-currant lift; the wine's body handles pastry richness. -
Salade nicoise
Anchovy, olive and tuna meet the rose's saline depth; herb register echoes the dressing.
History
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie partnered with the Perrin family of Chateau de Beaucastel in 2012 to revive Chateau Miraval's vineyards; the first vintage was released in 2013. Jolie sold her 50 percent stake to the Stoli Group in 2021, prompting active litigation that remains unresolved.
