Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s bitter winery war heads to trial — but the case could rage through 2026

After Pitt won the most recent round in the acrimonious legal dispute, the epic struggle between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie over their French winery Château Miraval is going for trial.

Sources told Page Six that although the trial date could very well be in 2026, the stars will be deposed in the lawsuit – which could lead to more juicy discoveries about the relationship.

According to court records viewed by Page Six, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge turned down Jolie’s attempts to have the lawsuit thrown this month, therefore opening the path for the case to proceed.

Said an insider: “Generally Angie and Brad will have to sit with depositions; there is now no way out as they approach trial.”

Insiders also indicated that settling seemed like a far-off dream.

Ever since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016, the Hollywood exes have been wrangling over the vineyard they bought in 2008.

The argument over the $500 million house started when Jolie sold half of her ownership to Stoli’s wine division.

Pitt then sued Jolie alleging her transaction violated a contract they had in place allowing him to purchase her shares with right of first refusal.

He wants to undo the Jolie-Stoli agreement in court.

During her fight back in the case, Jolie claimed certain sensitive behind-the-scenes information about the relationship revealed in court records.

She claimed that Pitt attempted to have her turn over all her former NDAs since he wanted her to sign a strict non-disclosure agreement covering claimed past bad behavior.

Pitt’s lawyers have said the matter is a “straightforward business dispute,” and “the other side has consistently introduced personal elements which have exposed the weaknesses in their case and complicated and lengthened the proceedings.”

Either way, the case is now essentially headed for a trial; still, the Stoli group who bought the shares also wants to throw a lawsuit and will have a hearing in March.

Following that, a trial date in the Pitt-Jolie conflict might be scheduled in April, but the more complicated case—that of a 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti—which sold at auction for $558,000 could be heard in 2026.

Pitt, 60, wound up with 60% and Jolie had 40% of the vineyard when the two stars bought it in better times – while Jolie was pregnant with twins, two of the six kids they raised together.

Pitt handed Jolie, 49, another 10%, immediately before they married at the estate in 2014, so they would be equal 50/50 partners as a gesture of their love at the moment.

Pitt handed the shares for one meager euro to his then-bride-to- be.

The ensuing struggle has cost a great deal more.

Stars’ representatives refrained from speaking.
