Domaine Mira Luna

From Miraval to Mira Luna: a piece of land with a long history

Domaine Mira Luna is located on the territory that once belonged to the legendary Miraval estate — the property that jazz composer Jacques Loussier shaped and that attracted artists like Pink Floyd. In 1992, American entrepreneur Tom Bove acquired the entire site and began producing organically certified Provence wine there. When he sold Miraval in 2008, he kept about 100 hectares of the highest, most secluded part — and christened it Mira Luna, the wonderful moon disk. Since March 2023, Anne-Cécile and Antoine Samaille, a French entrepreneurial couple with a distinct passion for the gustatory, have continued to run the Domaine. Their winery is located on the Lieu-dit Vireiguet, wedged between the medieval villages of Correns and Châteauvert in the Provence Verte.

Biodynamics at 350 meters: working to the rhythm of day and night

The Domaine belongs to the Natura 2000 protected area Val d'Argens — deer, hares and eagles are more frequently encountered here than visitors. On this terrain of red-ochre clay-limestone soil, Anne-Cécile and Antoine Samaille cultivate 8 hectares of vineyards as well as 900 olive trees, certified in organic farming and managed according to biodynamic principles — the organic certification has existed since 2008, i.e., from the first day under the name Mira Luna. Decisive for the style of the wines is the altitude of around 350 meters: the temperature difference between hot summer days and cool nights reaches up to 25°C and ensures aromatic grapes with lively acidity. The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand — and partly at night, to bring the fruit into the cellar as cool as possible. Each plot is vinified separately; only after tasting in December do the winemakers decide which cuvées will make up the range. In the cellar, they work with gentle whole-bunch pressing, exclusively the first press juice and maturation on the fine lees.

Rolle, Syrah, Cinsault — and olive oil from 900 trees

The heart of the range is single-varietal and blended white wines from Rolle as well as rosé wines that combine Syrah and Cinsault, under the appellations Coteaux Varois en Provence and Côtes de Provence. Added to this is a Rolle cuvée that is aged in amphorae — a sign of the winery's artisanal ambition. The Coteaux Varois rosé was awarded as the best rosé in the world (Grand Or) at the Mondial du Rosé of the Vinalies Internationales 2025 and received silver medals at the Decanter and Mundus Vini in 2026. In addition to the wines, single-varietal olive oils from Bouteillan and Frantoio are produced at the Domaine, both produced in organic farming and cold-pressed. The low yields and limited bottling quantities are intentional: Mira Luna sees itself as a direct producer that controls every bottle from the soil to the label.
