George Lucas buys vineyard in the Var
Star Wars director George Lucas has bought a 115 hectare organic vineyard in the Var, Château Margüi.

The domaine, with its 18th century chateau, is in Châteauvert, not far from Château de Miraval, bought by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 2008. The only sign on its website, is a logo at the bottom of the homepage saying it is ‘a member of Skywalker vineyards’.
