Famille Perrin
Nestled amongst the rolling hills of Correns, Château Miraval is now one of Provence’s best-known wine estates. This historic estate combines the beauty of the South of France with a clear vision for modern, high-quality rosé wines, and has gained international renown thanks to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
In partnership with the renowned Perrin family, whose Château de Beaucastel ranks among France’s most prestigious estates, Miraval has become one of Provence’s most sought-after producers of rosé. Today, Brad Pitt remains associated with the estate, whilst the Perrin family, drawing on their decades of expertise, continues to shape the style and quality of the wines.
Rosé wines from Famille Perrin
from Famille Perrin
The vineyards benefit from a Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine and the cooling Mistral wind. Limestone and clay soils, together with the location around Correns, create ideal conditions for fresh and expressive wines. The main grape varieties grown are the typical Provençal varieties Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah and Rolle, which lend the wines their elegance, finesse and aromatic expressiveness.
Miraval embodies a modern Provençal style: elegant and aromatic wines with plenty of freshness and subtle minerality. The rosés, in particular, delight with their lightness and sophistication, combining the relaxed way of life of the South of France with a touch of Hollywood.
Producer
Tornatore
Some of Sicily’s most exciting wines are produced on the northern slopes of Mount Etna. Nestled amongst lava flows and high-altitude vineyards, the Tornatore family has been shaping the region’s wine-growing tradition for generations. Their wines combine Sicilian warmth with freshness, precision and the volcano’s characteristic minerality.
Alvaro Palacios, S.L.
Álvaro Palacios was only 25 years old when he moved to the lonely Priorat in 1989. He left his parents’ vineyard in Rioja (J. Palacios Remondo) behind. He joined forces with a group of friends to reawaken the sleeping beauty of the Priorat, which the prior inhabitants had mostly abandoned in search of a better and easier life in the cities.
Marchesi Alfieri
At the intersection of Roero, Langhe and Monforte, between Asti and Alba, lies the small medieval village of San Martino Alfieri. The magnificent baroque castle of the Marchesi Alfieri and the Azienda building are located on the hill.
