Hide AdMurray’s 600-acre Chateau Routas vineyard in Provence, bought in 2004 and overseen by his son Keith, has some glamorous competition from his wine-growing neighbours.
Film star Brad Pitt’s Chateau Miraval borders one end of the estate and at the other corner is Chateau Margui, owned by Star Wars producer George Lucas.
Former Rangers owner Murray said: “Our family is delighted to see Routas continue to gain extensive recognition for the quality of rosé.”
