LOS
ANGELES, July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
high-profile legal battle over the prestigious French estate and
brand, Miraval, co-owned in the past by Hollywood stars Brad
Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has
a new development. Nouvel LLC, the company that Ms. Angelina Jolie sold to Tenute del Mondo, has
filed a motion with the Superior Court of California, County of
Los Angeles, Central District,
seeking to compel compliance from Campari America LLC.
Key Points:

knowledgeable person(s) and relevant documents regarding a
distribution agreement executed on or around September 2023 between Campari and Chateau
Miraval.

Pitt and his allies, Nouvel seeks information regarding the
contract's provisions, and negotiations leading up to its
execution. Nouvel also seeks information that will illuminate how,
in the midst of the legal dispute between Pitt and Nouvel, Campari
was permitted to secure the right to be the sole distributor of one
of the world's most successful rosés. Nouvel further seeks
information regarding any potential involvement by Campari in
Pitt's scheme to plunder Chateau Miraval's assets and
value.
- The dispute centres around the ownership and operational rights
of the Miraval estate, a highly coveted property and brand in
