n the world of rosé wines, especially those from

Provence, from which so many of the great OG rosés

hail, some wineries just naturally possess a bit more

élan than others. Take Château Miraval, for example,

whose flagship rosé encapsulates all the pedigree and

panache befitting the 1,235-acre majestic estate—replete

with a 35-room château, of course—smack dab in the

heart of Provence. When its owners, Brad Pitt and Angelina

Jolie, in partnership with the Perrin family, debuted the

now-iconic wine with its bold-shouldered bottle in 2013,

it became an instant classic.

WHAT TO SIP
THIS SUMMER
Now comes the next
generation, a slender new
bottling called STUDIO
by Miraval, meant to evoke
a little more swagger than
its elder sibling. Conceived
to reflect the joie-de-vivre
of the French Riviera,
STUDIO by Miraval is
being hailed as a beachside
rosé, a carefree wine that’s
perfect for lunch on the
terrace or a picnic with
friends. STUDIO channels
the energy and spirit of the
French Riviera, resulting
in effortless enjoyment and
zero-fuss indulgence.

TASTING NOTES

We asked wine expert and

Food & Wine contributor,

Anthony Giglio to share his

take on what to expect from

this refreshing new wine.

“Four local grapes—

Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle,

and Tibouren—form the

band that performs together

perfectly at this legendary

estate where, back in the late

’70s, Miraval’s then-owner

and jazz musician Jacques

Loussier built a recording

studio that hosted top-

of-the-charts bands from

around the world. Since

2011, winemaker Marc

Perrin has been performing

one hit after another in the

vineyards, adding STUDIO

to his legacy this year. A

delicate intro of orange

blossom aromas leads to

a crescendo of vibrant

citrus notes, amplified by a

refreshing chord of salinity,

in perfect harmony with

the surrounding air of the

French Riviera.”
