Chateau Miraval's former claim to fame was as the birthplace of "The Wall", recorded there while Pink Floyd was evading British tax problems in the late 70's. Current owners, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are no longer a couple, but continue as business partners. Along with Chateau Beaucastel's Marc Perrin, they've created a superstar rosé from organic grapes that may outlive Miraval's prog-rock relevance.
