Angelina Jolie won legal battle against Brad Pitt over French winery

Brad Pitt had earlier accused his ex-wife Angelina Jolie of damaging the reputation of the wine business they bought together in 2008. He accused her of selling her half to a stranger. The former couple had an agreement to not sell their interests in Chateau Miraval without the other's consent. However, by selling her stake to a unit of Stoli Group, a spirits maker controlled by oligarch Yuri Shefler, the actress broke the agreement. Soon, they got into a legal battle over this. As per a new report, Angelina Jolie has won the legal battle. The actress's legal team has subpoenaed documents from Brad as well as his company and his business manager on July 22, as per the report.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had bought the Chateau Miraval winery in 2008 for an estimated $28.3



million. They had agreed not to sell their interests in the company. However, Brad sued Angelina, accusing her of selling her part of their French vineyard. The couple also got married and spent several family holidays in the South of France vineyard and home Château Miraval. Aside from its well-known wines, the sprawling 405-hectare French estate is reportedly home to swimming pools and a helicopter pad.

As per a report in Page Six, a judge in Los Angeles said that Brad and his partners must turn over documents to Angelina’s team. Even if Brad and his legal team wished to appeal, the judge ruled that they cannot wait until that appeal decision is made. The report added that Brad had turned down an offer to sell the estate to the Stoli Group, even while he and Angelina were married.
