The idea of FLEUR de MIRAVAL sprang from a meeting of the minds between Brad Pitt and the Perrin family, who had already united the wine world with that of the arts and, in doing so, put MIRAVAL on the map, and the Péters family, who are internationally renowned for their Champagne.
The artistic concept behind the creation of Fleur de Miraval is the blending of Chardonnays that have noble, autolytic evolutionary notes and supremely fresh Pinot Noirs with slightly acidulous, red fruit notes. Given the aromatic profile we were looking for in the Pinot Noirs, the saignée method seemed an altogether more natural choice than using classic red winemaking techniques that would have produced much riper, richer tones.
