Brad Pitt is determined to hold onto Chateau Miraval, the French winery he once shared with ex-wife Angelina Jolie, no matter the personal cost.
At 62, Pitt remains locked in a bitter legal battle with Jolie, who has appealed to dismiss his lawsuit—but the court has denied her request, paving the way for an intense courtroom showdown.
The Fight Club star reportedly views Chateau Miraval as more than just a business asset. According to insiders, Pitt sees the winery as a symbol of his personal and professional legacy—something he refuses to give up without a serious fight. “He sees this as protecting something deeply personal,” a source told RadarOnline. “Chateau Miraval is a symbol of his legacy. He won’t hand it over without a fight.”
Despite his determination, Pitt’s focus on the winery has come at a steep price. He and Jolie share six children, but sources say none of them are close to their father anymore, as they have taken Jolie’s side in the long-running legal dispute. Pitt has especially tried to reconnect with twins Vivienne and Knox. Insiders note that Knox, unlike his other siblings, has not removed “Pitt” from his name—something that has reportedly given the actor a sliver of hope.
Still, the emotional toll is undeniable. A source close to Jolie shared that the actress is worn down by Pitt’s relentless legal moves. “It’s the last thing I need right now,” Jolie reportedly told friends. “I’m tired, stressed, and emotionally exhausted.”
Jolie and Pitt initially purchased Chateau Miraval as a romantic getaway and family retreat, later turning it into a thriving business. But since their split, it has become a central point of contention—one that now threatens to drag their fractured relationship even further into public scrutiny.
As Pitt stands firm and Jolie voices her exhaustion, the battle over Chateau Miraval appears far from over. With both Pitt and Jolie unwilling to back down, the dispute may yet grow more complicated before any resolution is reached.
