Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reportedly reached a settlement in their prolonged divorce case, ending an eight-year legal battle.
However, a separate dispute regarding the ownership of their Provence vineyard, Château Miraval, remains unresolved, according to reports from People magazine.
The Hollywood duo purchased Château Miraval in 2011 after renting the property since 2008. The vineyard became well-known for its Miraval rosé wine, created in collaboration with the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel. The first release in 2013 was highly successful, with the initial 1,000 cases selling out within hours.
Miraval also served as the venue for the couple’s wedding in 2014. However, since their separation in 2016, the vineyard has been a central point of contention.
