Brad Pitt has the story all wrong, according to a new counterclaim by Nouvel, a company founded by Pitt's ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The counterclaim says Jolie is the victim in the legal wrestling match over Château Miraval, the Provence wine estate the couple purchased together in 2012, and the Miraval wine brand they built.
Early in 2022, Pitt filed a lawsuit against Jolie for selling her share of the business without his knowledge or consent. In June, Pitt added new allegations, claiming that by selling her shares to Yuri Shefler, the international businessman and billionaire who controls Stoli Group, she aims to "intentionally jeopardize the reputation" of the business.
According to Pitt, the couple had agreed to never sell their respective interests in the company and estate-where they were married in 2014 without consulting each other. Pitt's suit claims that he and their business partners, France's winemaking Perrin family, built Miraval into a leading global rosé brand worth $164 million, while Jolie "contributed nothing" to its success.

Lazy Bear bills itself as a modern American dinner party. But it’s so much more. This Mission District restaurant effortlessly strips away the formality of a multicourse dinner and replaces it with conviviality, nostalgia and curiosity. With reverence for time and place, Lazy Bear is an ode to California where guests dine in concert with the season and can explore diverse wines, including an impressive collection of older California vintages.
