Despitetheir divorce,Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolieremain partnered in their wine business and committed to expanding their line.
“We are working very hard with [one of the leading champagne producers] Rodolphe Péters,” Perrin told the publication of their new rosé champagne, adding that Péters has employed saignée, a unique rosé-making technique for optimal quality.

A source tells PEOPLE that the project “has been in development for three or four years. Miraval is all about the art of making rosé and this champagne—which is made in the Champagne district—is a cooperation, combining Provencal knowledge with champagne making.” (In France, where they take their bubbly very seriously, champagne cannot be called champagne unless it is grown and bottled in the delimited growing region of Champagne.)

The collaboration, Perrin toldWine Spectator, “will create the only Champagne house which only makes rosé.” He added: “We are going to try to push the quality of rosé as far as possible in Champagne.”
The new wine is due to arrive within months, and marks the latest expansion of the Chateau Miraval line. In 2019, Brad introduced two new rosé bottlings:Studioin January, and in May, he personally introduced Muse, a much prized bottle to guests in Cannes at theOnce Upon A Time In Hollywoodpost-screening party.
Winemaking remains a family project, the source notes: “Chateau Miraval began as a project between the Jolie-Pitt and the Perrin family. And now it has grown to include the Péters family. The continuity and the family are very important to Brad and Angelina.”
When their last wine was released in 2019, sources told PEOPLE that the move “reaffirms the couple’s attachment toMiraval.” Sources have consistently told PEOPLE they view the business as “an investment fortheir children.”
