According to Bloomberg, the couple originally wanted to name the wine "Pink Floyd" but they renamed it as Miraval, after their estate.
Famille Perrin already started wine-making with last year's harvest. According Marc Perrin, the profits will be split in half between the couple and the Perrin family. The winemakers were invited to Jolie and Pitt's chateau to go over the logistics and showcase the different bottles.
The couple also participated in rose blending sessions and created the new bottles' shapes. The black label was also picked, it will carry "Jolie-Pitt and Perrin" on the back.
