Brad and Angelina give fans a taste of the good life

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have between them made some unpalatable movies, but they’re hoping a foray into wine production will appeal to your taste buds.

UK supermarket Marks and Spencer has announced it will stock a limited supply of Pitt and Jolie’s French wine Miraval Rose.

Those seeking a taste of Hollywood via a Provence vineyard should “get in quick” to sample the wine, which has so far been met with critical praise.

The 2014 rose, $A34.50 a bottle, is produced at the couple’s Chateau Miraval estate, where they married in August last year, in conjunction with the Perrin family of Chateau de Beaucastel.

Wine Spectator ranked the first vintage at number 84 in its list of the top 100 wines of 2013, making it the only rose included, while Decanter magazine described it as having “a sense of power alongside the elegance … with a delicious mouth-watering finish”.

The wine has sold previously in the UK through specialist merchants but M&S is the first to offer it up on the high street, describing it as an “intriguing pale pink rose with strawberry, white pear and floral aromas” with summer berry, wild herb and tangy tangerine flavours balanced by a refreshing acidity.
