Brad Pitt is suing his ex-wife Angelina Jolie for selling her stake in French vineyard Chateau Miraval which they bought together in 2008 for around 25 million euros and where they were married six years later. According to Pitt, Jolie would have decided to sell her part of the property in southeastern France without her permission, when, according to their previous agreement, this would have been necessary.
Chateau Miraval, which includes a house and vineyard in the village of Correns, “had turned into Pitt’s passion,” according to his lawyer, and, under his leadership, became a “multi-million dollar international success story”: in fact, the actor contributed to guaranteeing the profitability of the vineyard, transforming it into “one of the most appreciated rosé wine production companies in the world”.
The actress’s share, who has not made any statements, would go to Russian alcohol producer Yuri Shefler, according to the lawyer “without his client’s knowledge. He sold his stake with the knowledge and intention that Shefler and his affiliates would seek to control Pitt’s business and undermine his investment in Miraval “, with the aim of causing” free damage ” to the actor who had “invested money and effort in the wine sector”.
