(VillageVoice) - The vinous baby of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has finally arrived stateside! If you haven't heard, Brangie are now Provençal winemakers, having delivered their inaugural vintage of rosé from their Château Miraval estate last week. But erase any vision of Angie lovingly tending vines in muddy boots, hair matted to forehead under the hot midsummer sun; or Brad, come harvest time, with his usual overgrown goatee, gently picking grapes during cool pre-dawn hours and hand-sorting them at the table. That's only in the movies, folks.
In reality, if you own a château as a second, third, or sixth home, you probably aren't foot-stomping fruit. But that doesn't mean the wine isn't good. Miraval has a history of quality organic wine production long before its celebrity ownership, most notably for its Pink Floyd rosé, so named because the group recorded part of their album The Wall in the château's recording studio.
