Brad Pitt’s Winemaker Shares Exclusive Tips for Oscars Celebration With Fleur de Miraval Champagne
Celebrate the 2024 Oscars in A-list style with Fleur de Miraval Rosé Champagne, named the world’s best, as the brand’s winemaker shares exclusive tips for the ultimate home Oscars experience.
Alexis Blondel, the winemaker who joined the brand in August 2022, reveals that the latest edition, ER3, will be exclusively served at the Oscars this month. ER3, priced at $300 a bottle, boasts a beautiful almond-y creaminess, sweet citrus notes, white strawberry, and fresh fruit from a vintage as early as 2000, making it the perfect champagne for the glamorous event.

Founded by Brad Pitt, winemaker Rodolphe Péters, and Château owners, the Perrin family, Fleur de Miraval has been featured at the Oscars for three consecutive years. Blondel recommends pairing ER3 with Japanese cuisine for a full meal or suggests mac ‘n’ cheese, shrimp cocktail, or tomato-based foods for an Oscars watch party, enhancing the light fruitiness of the champagne.
Blondel’s pro tips for savouring this award-winning rosé at home include pouring it into a wine glass rather than a champagne glass and twisting the bottle while holding the cork. For those seeking a more affordable option, Blondel recommends the newest bottle, Petite Fleur, priced at $100 a bottle.
This Chardonnay-based option boasts a chalky, bright taste with perfect acidity, balance, and bitterness. Ideal for a dinner party with desserts, Blondel suggests pairing it with grapefruit or citrusy treats, fresh berries, or a refreshing berry sorbet.
Whether enjoyed with food or as a standalone delight, Fleur de Miraval Champagne promises to elevate your Oscars celebration at home.
