The Battle for Miraval Escalates as Pitt Scores Another Victory
In the ongoing legal fight over Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s famous French vineyard, Pitt has found more success. A recent ruling dismissed claims from Jolie’s lawyers that aimed to reverse a previous decision favouring Pitt.
This allows Pitt’s lawsuit accusing Jolie of breaching their agreement to proceed. The exes jointly purchased the sprawling Miraval Estate in 2008, where they married in 2014. However, tensions arose after Jolie sold her share to a Russian-owned Stoli Group subsidiary in 2021 without Pitt’s consent.
Pitt maintains he still owns 60% of their arrangement, which requires both parties’ approval. With the court rejecting Jolie’s attempts to derail the lawsuit, the stage is set for a potential trial. Jolie faces allegations of ignoring Pitt’s right of first refusal regarding the prized vineyard and business valued at $164 million.
Only a final judgment can decide who will fully own the iconic Miraval. For Pitt, it’s personal – he poured heart and soul into developing the estate’s renowned sparkling rosé wines. But Jolie sees her actions as within her rights post-divorce. The fight for control of this multi-million dollar French asset rages on.
