Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie To Sell Chateau Miraval Amid Divorce
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are preparing to sell her French estate, Chateau Miraval.
According to a new report, the couple, whose split was announced last month, are ready to unload the Correns, France, property, which boasts a massive estate and its own prize-winning vineyards.
“The home has been valued and is going on the market any day now,” an insider told Us Weekly, adding that changes will be made to the now-estranged couple’s line of Rose.
“It currently says ‘Jolie-Pitt’ on the Chateau Miraval bottles, and the next season’s batch will have a new reprinted label with no names written on it,” the insider explained.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie purchased Chateau Miraval in 2012 for a reported $60 million, and on August 23, 2014, they got married at the property surrounded by their six children, Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 8. As Us Weekly revealed, the home sits on 1,200 acres and includes 35 rooms. Outside of the home, pine forests, olive groves, terraced hillsides, vineyards, a private lake, and a moat can be seen.
Prior to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s separation, the couple and their kids split their time between their French estate and two homes in Los Angeles, including a home in Los Feliz and a 4,088-square-foot beach house in Malibu. Now, however, Angelina Jolie has rented her own home for the kids, which is also located in Malibu.
“It is a five-bedroom, 4,400-square-foot bluff-top estate with a private path that leads to the beach,” an insider confirmed to Us Weekly last month.
The home includes a “lagoon-style heated pool, ocean views, media room, in-home theater, gourmet kitchen, separate guest house with bedroom, bath and gym, spacious patios with ocean-view dining and entertainment space,” the source said.
Immediately after filing for divorce on September 19, Brad Pitt’s wife and kids moved into their Malibu rental, where they have seemingly remained since the split. Meanwhile, Pitt is believed to be staying alone at his Los Feliz home.

Although the Us Weekly report claimed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s wine label name would be changed, Eater revealed on October 24 that the former couple was quitting the wine industry completely.
According to the outlet, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie began leasing the property in 2008, the same year their twins, Vivienne and Knox, were born, but they didn’t officially enter the wine business until 2013, one year after they bought the estate. At that time, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie partnered with the Perrin wine family to create a 2012 Miraval Rose, which they labeled with the Jolie-Pitt name that is also carried by their six kids. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie also created two white wines.
Although the Miraval wines will continue to be produced, the Jolie-Pitt name has been removed, and when it comes to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s future involvement with the brand, there doesn’t appear to be any plans for the actors to remain involved.
As Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie prepare to cut ties for good, Eater has revealed that their wine label may be worth some money now that its availability will soon decrease.
“That bottle of Brangelina rosé hiding out in the back of your wine fridge could fetch a tidy profit: A number of bottles of the 2012 Rosé have fetched around $150 on eBay in recent weeks. (There are currently several listings with Buy-It-Now prices as high as $1,000 per bottle, but so far no one’s biting),” the outlet explained.
