WHAT NEXT FOR PITT AND JOLIE'S MIRAVAL WINES?

22 Sep 2016 By

Mr and Mrs Smith may be no more, so what happens now to their Chateau Miraval wines? If Angelina Jolie gets all the kids, surely Brad Pitt gets all the grapes?

Hollywood’s golden power couple has split, for reasons known only to themselves (we don’t care). We do have some questions about the Chateau Miraval winery they bought in 2012 for around US$60mil.

 

Is it any good? The estate makes four different wines: one rosé, two whites, and one red. The rosé was ranked 84th on Wine Spectator‘s list of the top 100 wines of 2013 – the only rosé to make the list.

How involved are they in it? They are very low-key about the business, unlike celebrity endorsers who highlight it in every press appearance. According to Forbes, Jolie and Pitt generally prefer to talk up their film projects and humanitarian efforts. Of course, the winery does benefit from some free press due to its ties to celebrities: Jolie and Pitt married in a small ceremony at the vineyard in 2014.

Who likes it more? Pitt.

What’s in there? The estate has a recording studio, which has entertained the likes of Sting, the Cranberries, and Pink Floyd over the years. There is also a spa, two gyms, an indoor swimming pool plus a spa. And loads of wines, natch.

What happens next? They could liquidate it completely, or one could buy the other one out. If Pitt gets it, he could have the biggest, baddest bachelor party in the south of France. If humanitarian Jolie gets it, she could feed a lot of kids with the grapes.

Just saying.
