Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Winery Threatened by Wildfires

Smoke was seen near the estate as France faces one of its worst fire seasons in 20 years, officials and reports said.

  • On Friday, smoke was seen rising near Château Miraval as wildfires spread across southern France, though aerial images showed no visible damage to the estate owned by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
  • Château Miraval has remained central to a long-running legal dispute between Jolie and Pitt since she sold her stake in 2021, prompting Pitt to sue in February 2022 alleging the sale breached a prior agreement.
  • In a countersuit, Jolie alleged Pitt has been "waging a vindictive war against" her, while Pitt's legal team argued she made her finances part of the case and Jolie's lawyers denied claims of financial trouble.
  • Nearby residents, including George and Amal Clooney, have reportedly evacuated their home due to the fires, while the latest wildfire scare follows a court update occurring just weeks ago.
  • France is currently experiencing one of its worst fire seasons in 20 years, creating heightened risk for properties across the southern region where Château Miraval is located.
