Far from being reduced to its famous owner, Brad Pitt, Château Miraval is first and foremost a formidable terroir of Provence, bordered by olive trees and pine forests, where the Perrin family - Château Beaucastel - excels in forging subtle, delicate and fruity white and rosé wines.
It is in this preserved setting of nearly 1000 hectares of wilderness that these wines, prized for their freshness and authenticity, are born. Organic farming, an incredible patchwork of terroirs and a luxurious environment are amongst the key differentiating factors of this unique place, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful wineries in France.
