New Vintage is here!
Pitt * Jolie * Perrin
2013 Château Miraval Cotes de Provence Rose...$23.99
"There is a lovely floral nose, soft fragrant roses, and from the first taste there is a delicate structure that deepens on the palate. But, as the French would say 'il y a du vin' – meaning that there is a sense of power alongside the elegance, a structure and a fresh acidity that gives the wine persistency, with a grip of minerality that gives a delicious mouthwatering finish."

New vintage of Brangelina's rose arrives soon; it's not another crappy celebrity wine
By S. Irene Virbila
The second vintage of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Provence rose,… (Chateau Miraval )
If you’re one of the impatient ones, and have to have a bottle of Brangelina’s latest rosé from Provence right now, you’ll have to jet over to London or France. That’s right. The first bottles of 2013 Château Miraval Côtes de Provence rosé will be sold first in France and England.
There’s been a waiting list for the wine since last year and the people on it were notified by email that they could sign on Thursday and buy one case of six bottles each. Just in time for Valentine’s Day. Go to the website and you’ll be informed very politely, in French, that the reservation list for the first bottles of the 2013 vintage is now closed.
For the rest of us, the wine goes on sale in two weeks.
The first release of the rosé from their summer residence and wine estate in southeast France, made with the Perrin family of the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Château de Beaucastel and the Central Coast property Tablas Creek Vineyard, sold out quickly. And it wasn’t just another crappy celebrity wine, but a serious rosé which was rated No. 84 in Wine Spectator’s list of the top 100 wines of 2013, the only rosé to make the list."

The estate includes around 50 to 60 acres of vines. The couple are the latest in a long list of stars who have invested in wine, from ex-Formula One champion Michael Schumacher, singer Sting and footballer David Beckham to actor Gerard Depardieu, filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and singer Madonna. Marc Perrin of the family that partnered with Jolie-Pitt said in February that the couple were involved in the production process and wanted to do more than "just put their name" on the label. "They want to be proud of the wine on their property. They are really looking for excellence," he said, adding that the estate would later look to also produce red and white wines.
