Chin chin: Brad and Angelina
have launched their own wine
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's
wine from their French vineyard has gone on sale in a UK supermarket for the
first time after winning rave reviews from critics.
Marks and
Spencer is stocking a limited supply of the 2014 Miraval Rose
and has urged those seeking a taste of Hollywood via a Provence vineyard to
"get in quick".
The £18-a-bottle wine 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.

Brad Pitt are the toast of the wine world
Wine Spectator ranked
the first vintage at number 84 in its list of the top 100 wines of 2013, making
it the only rose to be 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 wine 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.

M&S drinks buyer
Emma Dawson said: "We're excited to be launching what could well be the
most famous rose in the world.
"Not only does
Miraval boast A-lister owners, it's a really lovely crisp rose, perfect for
summer drinking."
She added: "This
rose is best enjoyed lightly chilled, while young and fresh, and makes an
excellent aperitif or matches with many Provencal style dishes such as fish,
vegetables and salads."
The 2014 Miraval Rose
is available in selected M&S stores now.
