Brad Pitt's wine brand is Miraval, a famous rosé from Château Miraval in Provence, France, which he co-owns with Angelina Jolie (though currently in legal disputes) and partners with the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel for winemaking expertise, known for its pale color and notes of strawberry and citrus. The estate produces several wines, including their acclaimed Rosé, white wines, and the Studio by Miraval range, all made from organically farmed grapes.
In December 2024, they finalized their lengthy divorce. However, their legal battle over Château Miraval, which they co-owned, is still not over. Jolie sold her stake in the French winery to Tenute del Mondo, the wine division of the Stoli Group, in 2021.
The estate gained global attention in 2012 when it became part of a partnership with the Perrin Family and Brad Pitt. Under this ownership, Miraval rose to fame for its exceptional rosé, blending tradition with modern innovation, and achieving international acclaim.
Pitt and Jolie bought Chateau Miraval together in 2008; he paid roughly 60 percent of the $28.4 million price tag, she the rest, and they were married there in 2014. The estate is now worth $164 million.
Why the Wine Industry Is Dying and the Impact on Business
Why is Whispering Angel so popular?
Whispering Angel's popularity stems from its pioneering role in premium rosé, appealing with its pale color, light, fruity taste, and premium branding, making it a trendy, versatile, and accessible wine that became a lifestyle symbol, boosted by celebrity endorsements and strategic marketing by LVMH. It successfully transformed rosé from niche to mainstream by offering consistent quality and an "Instagrammable" image, perfect for various occasions from brunches to parties.
Angelina Jolie has publicly discussed two major health issues: a preventative double mastectomy and oophorectomy due to a high genetic risk for cancer (BRCA gene mutation), and a temporary diagnosis of Bell's palsy linked to stress, which caused facial drooping but from which she recovered with acupuncture. She also mentioned developing hypertension around the time of her Bell's palsy diagnosis.
A source told Us Weekly that Pitt "of course wishes he'd handled the end of their marriage in a more thoughtful manner." The actor even "asked for Jen's forgiveness a long time ago and she gave it," the insider added.
The 20-minute wine rule is a guideline for serving wines at their optimal temperature: take red wines out of the fridge for 20 minutes to slightly warm them up, and put white wines in the fridge for 20 minutes to cool them down, allowing the intended flavors and aromas to shine by avoiding extremes that muddle taste or suppress scent. It's about finding that perfect middle ground, making reds less "hot" and whites less "closed down," so you experience the winemaker's vision.
The Domain of Château Miraval is a vineyard located in the Var region of Provence, globally renowned for its high-quality Rosé wines. Since 2012, the estate has been owned by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who have invested in renovating the property to produce exceptional wines.
Prominent veins on the hands and arms are more likely to be visible on women who, like Angelina Jolie, are slim and toned, because there is so little fat to disguise them.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been separated since 2016, but the battle for Château Miraval—their 1,200-acre villa and winery in the South of France—rages on. The divorced couple is locked in a protracted legal dispute regarding ownership of the Provence estate, where they got married in 2014.
Back in 2013, American actress Angelina Jolie opened up about her decision to have an elective double mastectomy, also called a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy. Jolie's mother and aunt both developed and later died from breast cancer at a young age.
What is the life expectancy of someone with the BRCA gene?
With no intervention, the remaining life expectancy of a 30, 40 and 50 year-old BRCA1 mutation carrier who has never had cancer, is 41.5, 32.7 and 26.1 years, respectively; the remaining life expectancies of BRCA2 mutation carriers of the same ages are 48.6, 39.4 and 30.7 years.
Meghan Markle's well-known favorite wine is Tignanello, a prestigious Italian "Super Tuscan" red wine that inspired the name of her former lifestyle blog, The Tig. She described it as her first "Tig moment"—when she understood wine's depth—and it's a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes. More recently, she launched her own California rosé, As Ever, made in partnership with Kunde Family Winery.
The Sainte Victoire is Aldi's version of Provence rosé, a wine made famous by Whispering Angel. It is made from the same grape varieties as Whispering Angel but is about half the price. Could you fool your friends into thinking they were drinking Whispering Angel?
