Angelina Jolie has sold her share of Château Miraval to Tenute del Mondo – a subsidiary of the Stoli Group – that counts Masseto and Ornellaia among its portfolio.
The group has bought 50% of Chateau Miraval, and the Miraval brand, from Angelina Jolie, it announced today, through its ultra premium wine division, Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of Stoli Group. The company is a co-owner (alongside the Frescobaldi Family) of iconic wines such as Masseto, Ornellaia, Luce, CastelGiocondo, and the owner of Achaval Ferrer and Arínzano.
Jon Pepper MW, managing director of Tenute del Mondo said that Miraval complemented the group’s wine offering.
“With the addition of a Rose of this calibre we are well positioned to meet the exquisite demands of both customers and partners alike,” he said.
Damian McKinney, global CEO of Stoli Group said they had long admired Miraval’s “exceptional” wines and brand and was thrilled to have a position alongside Brad Pitt as curators of its extraordinary vintages.
“We are truly honoured to do our part to uphold the integrity and commitment, as well as invest the time and passion, evidenced in both the Chateau and the Miraval brand,” he said.
In July, it was reported that the Hollywood actress, director and humanitarian has allegedly petitioned a judge to let her sell the Provence wine estate and that she had lined up a buyer. However last month Page Six reported that court papers had been filed in Luxembourg, which alleged that Jolie has failed to give Pitt the option of buying her stake, as per a previous agreement. Two days later it was reported that the two stars had reached an agreement.
