We’ve long envied those with the financial stamina to pour Domaine Ott as if it were Diet Coke at summer’s finer pool parties and beach soirees. But around mid-July we stumbled upon Miraval - a stunning new bottle with champagne silhouette and spare packaging that’s the perfect sun-kissed shade of Cotes de Provence.
Recently we discovered Miraval is the first in a series of collaborations with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt who teamed up with Beaucastel\'s Perrin family at Chateau Miraval. Wine Spectator reports that Pitt and Jolie “participated in the blending sessions for the wine and also helped in the design of the label and the bottle.” The result is a spectacular bottle or unpretentious Rosé that transitions effortlessly from the pool to pre-dinner hour for around $25 a bottle.
