With sales expected to be high and stocks limited, the retailer is urging people seeking a taste of Château Miraval 2014 to “get in quick”.

The premium rosé is priced at £18 and hails from the Château Miraval estate, where the couple got married last year. They purchased the estate in 2008, reportedly for around US$55 million.

Previously only available through independent merchants, the wine will be available across the UK for the first time.

Described by the retailer as an “intriguing pale pink rosé with strawberry, white pear and floral aromas”, the rosé is made in partnership with famed Château de Beaucastel owners the Perrin family.

The brand was launched in March 2013 with the 2012 vintage, which wine critic Thierry Desseauve described as boasting “energy and dynamism, with persistence and freshness” due to its “expressive fruit”.

The wine is made from a blend of organically grown Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault

Emma Dawson, wine buyer for Marks and Spencer, said “We’re excited to be launching what could well be the most famous rosé in the world.

“Not only does Miraval boast A-lister owners, it’s a really lovely crisp rose, perfect for summer drinking.”
