As Oscar-winners, humanitarians and the parents of six kids, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are America’s ultimate power couple. And now, they can add yet another achievement to their repertoire – award-winning wine producers.
The Chateau Miraval Rosé 2012 – which the couple developed in a 1,200-acre vineyard at their estate in Provence – was ranked 84 in Wine Spectator‘s Top 100 Wines of the Year, making it 2012’s ‘Best Rosé in the world’.
According to the magazine’s managing editor Kim Marcus, the rosé is both ‘refined and elegant, offering pure and concentrated flavors of dried red berry, tangerine and melon.
The 38-year-old actress and her longtime love, 49, enlisted the help of the Perrin family, a fifth-generation France-based winemaking family, to produce the wine.
Each bottle is sold for between $23 and $28, and all of the 6,000 bottles that were released in March sold out within an impressive five hours.
At the initial blind tasting of the wine at Wine Spectator’s New York office, it scored 90 points out of 100, distinguishing it as ‘outstanding’.
And professional wine connoisseurs agree that it is more than just a wine with a celebrity name slapped on it.
