James Suckling "A fruity, juicy and round rosé with small berries, tangerine skin and some mild spices. Light- to medium-bodied with a linear development. Discreet fruit and a short, refreshing finish."

Wine Spectator "A delicate style, with light melon and peach flavors offset by a tangy boost of acidity. Creamy in feel, offering subtle herb accents on the modest finish. Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle and Tibouren."

Bacchus Magazine "Behind this iconic rosé lies all the expertise of the Miraval estate. A true tribute to the Provençal art of living, the “Studio by Miraval” embodies the luminous elegance and vibrant freshness of lands bathed in the Mediterranean sun. Coming from the “Méditerranée IGP” appellation, this wine benefits from an exceptional terroir that extends from Provence to the seashores, thus offering great creative freedom to its producer. On the nose, this rosé wine reveals fresh aromas of pink grapefruit, strawberry and raspberry, subtly intertwined with touches of white flowers and mint. This freshness continues on the palate, where the liveliness of citrus fruits is balanced with a slight sweetness. On the finish, a hint of salt, a signature of the Miraval terroirs, brings a sensation of purity and refinement. Serve at 10 °C. Superb with grilled vegetables, smoked salmon bagel, shrimp skewers, small fried foods, mussels with tomatoes and saffron, grilled chicken with tarragon, or lobster bisque."

Wine Enthusiast "Flush with red-berry fruits, the wine is balanced. Crisp and textured bright fruits are balanced with ripe citrus and acidity." (2022 vintage)

Wine Review Online "Alexis Blondel, winemaker for the Perrin Family, has made a juicy blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Rolle, and Tibouren for this dry, light, peach-colored wine. Flavors of red berries laced with orange zest and flinty notes are supported by very crisp acidity. The Studio term was coined as a tribute to a recording studio on the property, where Pink Floyd recorded "The Wall." The grapes originate from a region called Méditérranée, which is an appellation defined as “A large area on the southeast coast of France, roughly corresponding to the Provence wine region but also includes a part of the Rhône Valley. The IGP shares its land with multiple AOC appellations as varied as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Bandol and Côtes de Provence.”---- Rebecca Murphy" (2022 vintage)

Wine Enthusiast "A junior rosé from the Brad Pitt owned Château Miraval, this is a ripe, attractive wine. Its red berry fruits are balanced with refreshing acidity and there is a hint of a crisp texture at the end. " (2021 vintage)

Bacchus Magazine "In 1977, the owner of the Miraval estate was jazz musician Jacques Loussier, who built a music studio there, still located above the cellar. This studio has hosted numerous international artists, including Pink Floyd (who recorded The Wall there), AC/DC, Muse, Wham!, Sting, Indochine, and many others. To pay tribute to this legendary recording studio, Miraval created the “Studio by Miraval” cuvée. This is a bright, festive ROSÉ with exceptional freshness. It boasts an expressive nose, releasing aromas of citrus, strawberries, and redcurrants, enhanced by floral and mineral notes. Easy to drink and love, this joyful wine stands out for its elegance and light, digestible profile. Light and airy, it leaves a lingering finish with fruity and subtly saline notes." (2021 vintage)

Château Miraval, located in Provence, is renowned for its refined, flinty ROSÉ wines made from Grenache and Cinsaut, as well as its connection to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who acquired the estate in 2009. Formerly home to a recording studio used by artists like Pink Floyd and Sting, Miraval now produces wines in collaboration with the Perrin family.

The 500-hectare estate includes olive groves, a rustic château, and 30 hectares of vineyards. Miraval produces four wines: the flagship Côtes de Provence Rosé, two whites from Rolle, and a red under the Vin de France designation.
