Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are still fighting over their French winery. The dispute returns to court this week to tackle technical aspects as they fight over ownership of Château Miraval. Pitt and Jolie were married two years before the actress filed for divorce in 2016, effectively ending their 12-year relationship. The two became legally single in 2019. The former couple bought a controlling stake in Château Miraval in 2008 and spent time at the home throughout their relationship.
Jolie attempted to sell her company, Nouvel, to Tenute Del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli group, in 2021, effectively transferring her 50% ownership interest in Miraval. Pitt has fought this sale, claiming the move breached a contract between the two. 'Jolie pursued and then consummated the purported sale in secret, purposely keeping Pitt in the dark, and knowingly violating Pitt's contractual rights,' according to court documents previously obtained by Fox News Digital.
Jolie's company, Nouvel, claimed Pitt has been the mastermind of a 'vindictive campaign' to 'loot' the profitable business since she first filed for divorce in 2016. Nouvel accused Pitt of 'hijacking' Château Miraval and 'wasting' the company's assets on unnecessary renovation projects, including spending $1 million on swimming pool renovations, according to the court documents previously obtained by Fox News Digital.
The 'Girl, Interrupted' actress's former company also slammed Pitt's claim he 'built' the wine business into a profitable company. 'Pitt is an actor, not a winemaker,' the documents say. 'He deals in illusions, not dirt and grapes.
Wesley and Ramon finalized their divorce in February, according to E! News. The former couple 'entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership right.'
