Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, leaving the future of the couple's award-winning Château Miraval rosé wine uncertain.

Angelina Jolie’s lawyer confirmed that the actress has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, the BBC and other publications reported today (20 September).

News that the ‘Brangelina’ era was nearing its end spread across mainstream and social media.

There will also now be uncertainty around the future of the Pitt and Jolie Provence rosé wine that has sold strongly in recent years.

In August, there were rumours among locals that the couple’s Château Miraval was up for sale. But, this was never confirmed.

The Hollywood A-listers bought Château Miraval in Provence for a reported 40 million euros in 2008.

They recruited the respected Perrin family of Château Beaucastel in 2012 to help them produce Miraval rosé wine from the 60 hectare estate.

The first 1,000 cases of the inaugural 2012 vintage sold out within hours, merchants told Decanter.com at the time of its release in 2013.

Miraval rosé was also relatively well recieved by wine critics. Decanter’s contributing editor, Jane Anson, praised Miraval 2013’s ‘lovely floral nose’ and ‘delicate structure’.

A trio of Decanter panel tasters subsequently gave it an average score of 91 points out of 100.

Industry insiders previously told Decanter.com that Brad Pitt was more involved in the winemaking process at Miraval than Jolie.

But the pair were known to take an active interest in producing the wine.

News of the Jolie and Pitt split also throws previously stated future plans into doubt, such as the idea of making a ‘super Provence’ red at Miraval.
