Tom Bove

Tom Bove was born and grew up in Indiana, USA. In the summer of 1993, he and his wife were on a tour of France when they heard about a vineyard in the Var that was for sale.

Seduced by the architecture, history and soul of Miraval, and by his love of wine, Tom took on the challenge of revitalising this domaine. After convincing his US family to buy Miraval, he has spent the past 16 years on this vast project with the help of œnologue Emmanuel Gaujal, whose experience of the property over thirty-five years proved invaluable.

Later, Tom saw great potential in the vineyards of La Mascaronne which he acquired with a friend in 1999.

The wines of both Miraval and La Mascaronne receive accolades and critical acclaim on a regular basis and the rosés were Highly Recommended and Recommended respectively in the July 2009 edition of Decanter magazine.

What the Press say

Joanna Simon, Wines of the Week, The Times: “2009 Château Miraval Pink Floyd Rôsé, Côtes de Provence Benchmark Provence rosé – pale pink with a perfumy, powdery nose, silky textured strawberry and cassis fruit, a touch of spice and a long, refined finish. It’s made largely from old cinsault vines, which give the perfume and the silkiness, with 20% grenache to add a bit of extra red fruit and spice. And in case you hadn’t guessed or are too young to know, it’s made on the Miraval estate where, in 1977, Pink Floyd recorded The Wall. 13.5% abv. Serve with sunshine.”
