Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Legal Battle Intensifies as Miraval Winery Dispute Heads to Trial
Angelina Jolie , Brad PittAngelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are set to face each other in court as their protracted legal battle over the Miraval winery escalates. The former couple, who split in 2016, continue to clash over the ownership and sale of their French estate, Château Miraval, renowned for its award-winning rosé. Recent court rulings have sided with Pitt, dismissing Jolie's motions to terminate the proceedings and allowing for the case, dubbed the 'War of the Rosé', to advance to trial.
At the heart of this dispute is a contentious agreement regarding their stakes in the winery. Jolie's 2021 sale of her 50% share to Russian businessman Yuri Shefler's Stoli Group for $67 million has been challenged by Pitt, who argues that a verbal agreement prohibited such a sale without his consent. Jolie, however, contends that the agreement was invalidated by Pitt's request for a non-disclosure agreement concerning their marriage.
The legal fray over Miraval has grown increasingly bitter, costing both parties millions and exposing personal grievances entwined with business issues. Pitt's legal team asserts that the dispute remains a straightforward business matter, though personal animosities have complicated proceedings. With Jolie's recent claims dismissed, Pitt gains a strategic advantage as they prepare for the trial set for next year. The stakes are high, with potential damages looming for Jolie if the sale is deemed violative.
This ongoing saga highlights the challenges of disentangling business partnerships forged during personal relationships, with the Miraval estate remaining a potent symbol of their former union and current discord.
