The ongoing legal feud between Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie over their winery, Château Miraval, is entering a new phase, as the case now heads to trial. The battle, which has been dragging on since their divorce in 2016, is likely to continue until at least 2026, further extending the legal complexities of their separation.
The heart of the dispute centers around Jolie’s 2021 sale of her 50% stake in the French estate to Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group, a Russian-owned company. Pitt filed a lawsuit in 2022, claiming the sale was against their prior agreement that neither party could sell their shares without the other’s consent. He argues that Jolie’s sale to a Russian entity threatens his reputation and the future of the business. Jolie, on the other hand, counters that Pitt mishandled Miraval’s funds, including extravagant renovations on the property, and that her sale was a necessary step for her to gain closure after their tumultuous relationship.

The legal process has been marked by a series of high-stakes filings. Recently, a judge ordered Jolie to produce detailed documentation related to the sale, including all non-disclosure agreements and communications regarding the winery. Pitt claims the Russian connection could harm the winery’s image, given the ongoing geopolitical tensions.
As the case proceeds, both sides continue to accuse each other of financial mismanagement and betrayal, making this a highly contentious legal battle. With no resolution in sight, this courtroom drama seems poised to continue shaping the public narrative surrounding the former couple for years to come.
