  • Salt-baked sea bass The seasoned fish meets the wine's saline core; lemon-zest finish refreshes the rich flesh.More wines for sea bass →
  • Goat cheese tart Lactic-tangy goat cheese aligns with the rose's red-currant lift; the wine's body handles pastry richness.More wines for lamb →
  • Salade nicoise Anchovy, olive and tuna meet the rose's saline depth; herb register echoes the dressing.More wines for vegetables and salads →

With cheese

Tomme de Provence Our pick A medium-bodied Provence rosé, fermented mostly in steel, has red currant, citrus and high acidity. The acidity meets the tomme's touch of tang, and the body leaves the creamy paste and its walnut and spice notes alone.

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.
