Yes, that Brad Pitt. He co-founded Le Domaine with the Perrin family (they own Château Miraval). The story is actually good—they wanted to use the leftover grape pomace from their organic vineyard instead of throwing it away.
Most resveratrol serums use lab-made stuff. This one uses actual grapevine shoot extract from their own land. It’s not just a celebrity vanity project—it’s a real upcycling play from people who already grow grapes for a living.
One bottle, 30ml, $290. The claim that got me: “clinically proven to increase skin firmness by 27% in 4 weeks.” I rolled my eyes, but the ingredient list made me actually try it.
Resveratrol from vines
Not synthetic. Extracted from the actual Château Miraval vines. Sounds gimmicky—but plant-source resveratrol is more bioavailable than lab stuff.
Micro-emulsion texture
It’s not an oil, not a gel. Disappears into skin in about 8 seconds flat. No tacky finish.
Sustainable extraction
They use water instead of chemical solvents to pull the actives. Smells faintly like fresh grass, not perfume.

The hero is GSM-10 — a patented extract from grapevine shoots, not the fruit itself. It’s packed with viniferin, which is basically resveratrol’s more stable, more potent cousin. Then they add glycolic acid (gentle dose) and polyglutamic acid for hydration.
- GSM-10 Grapevine Shoot Extract: Boosts collagen without irritation — the real star
- Glycolic Acid (1.5%): Smooths texture, but low enough to not peel your face off
- Polyglutamic Acid: Holds 4x more water than hyaluronic acid — actually plumps
- Glycerin: Basic but needed — keeps the formula from drying you out while the acid works

Texture is weirdly perfect. It’s a watery serum that sinks in before you can blink. No stickiness, no film. I put it on after cleansing, waited maybe 15 seconds, then slapped moisturizer on top — zero pilling.
Week two I noticed my forehead lines looked… softer? Not gone, but less angry. The surprise: it didn’t break me out. Most “brightening” serums give me tiny bumps. This one just absorbed and did its job quietly.

After 4 weeks: skin looks more even, less dull. Pores didn’t shrink (they never do), but they look less obvious. The firmness thing—yeah, I’d say my cheeks feel slightly bouncier. Not a facelift, but noticeable when I smile.

This is a genuinely good serum from an unlikely source. Brad Pitt made me curious; the grapevine extract made me stay. It’s not magic, but it’s smart, sustainable skincare that actually delivers subtle results.
