Angelina Jolie has won the legal battle against Brad Pitt in a highly sentimental battle over the Château Miraval winery, according to Page Six. The now divorced couple got married in the Chateau and moved into it soon after, which sits on its Provençal vineyard. The couple took over the renowned rosé company back in 2008 when they moved into the Chateau.
Brad Pitt had been tolling over the breathtaking buildings and grounds, ever since their turbulent split, however, Jolie sold her stake to the liquor giant Stoli, leading to a series of lawsuits between the two, their businesses, and many business partners in the US, France, and Luxembourg.
Angelina's panel of lawyers had subpoenaed documents from Brad, his business manager and Mondo Bongo, his company. Pitt's team tried every way to have Jolie's request for the papers and correspondence denied in court. However, on July 22, a judge in LA stated that Brad and his partners must pass on the papers and correspondence to the opposing lawyers and that they can't hold off until they appeal the decision.
According to sources close to Angelina’s business operation, it's being claimed that Brad is letting his anger over his vicious split with Angelina come in the way of common business sense: "Any rational human being would be happy for Stoli to be a partner in their business. They have top-notch marketing and distribution. He just can not see past his hatred towards Jolie.”
While they argue that Stoli offers huge opportunities to grow the business, a source close to Brad alleges that the Stoli deal is not a no-brainer and that Brad has turned down an offer to sell it to the business firm even when he was still married to Angelina. This was, reportedly, because the idea of selling a chunk of the business for better distribution countered Pitt's long-held plan for the project, which was to plough profits back into the company: "The best way to retain value for [their kids] is for the parents to retain full ownership of this increasingly valuable and expanding asset."
