The bottles were on sale only in France on the Château Miraval web site. The wine went for 105 euros with all taxes and shipping included for a case.
“The sale started at 9 a.m., and all the bottles were sold out by 2 p.m.,” said a spokesperson for the Vitabella, the public relations firm representing the vineyard.
Jolie and Pitt partnered with Marc Perrin, the owner of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, to create the label “Bottled b Jolie-Pitt et Perrin” 2012 Rosé vintage. In a statement, Perrin called the wine “aromatic with a round mouthfeel that is full of freshness.”
Marc Perrin also spoke of the valley location that the 2012 vintage comes from. “This is a magical place that we traverse from one end to the other to discover exceptional plots. The valley, property of the château, offers an unmatched eco-system and gives the wines a unique style in terms of freshness and elegance.”
