ALL THE MASTERY OF THE PERRIN FAMILY AND THE SENSITIVITY OF BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE ARE NOW BOUND TO AN EXCEPTIONAL LAND. TWO PASSIONS UNITE TO BRING THE BEAUTIFUL, THE EXCEPTIONAL, THE UNFORGETTABLE

A screencap of the original 2019 An Inspiration text is below
They undoubtedly thoroughly reviewed every word they posted and we shall do the same. In the key addition to the original, it states that Brad and Angelina's sensitivity is now bound to an exceptional land. This makes it unequivocally clear that Angelina's ties to Miraval and to Brad remain unchanged after the sale of Nouvel to the Stoli group in October. Now bound implies newly strengthened and lasting ties. And that they all work together in bringing forth Miraval's beautiful, exceptional and unforgettable production. The site consistently refers to them as a singular unit: they have one sensitivity, they form one formidable force, they are one passion -- in other words they are a couple. They may have effected a stock swap between Mondo Bongo and Nouvel or Brad may have gifted her part of Mondo Bongo in the same manner that he gave her 20% of Quimicum from the original 70% that he paid for so they would have equal stakes. The net effect is that they both sold part and kept part of their interest in Quimicum. He was obviously the driving force behind getting a strategic business partner who can help them take advantage of the booming market for rosé. Part of the proceeds from the sale apparently now helping bring to fruition their long-gestating plans of turning Miraval into a leading artistic venue. The deal with Stoli may have carved out the areas of the estate not involved in winemaking and thus of no business interest to Stoli and kept those under their sole control. The new text states of them and the Perrins: two passions unite to bring the beautiful, the exceptional, the unforgettable. Previously, they were two formidable forces come together. Formidable force emphasizes their strength. Passion and sensitivity is their heart, empathy, emotion, and commitment extending beyond the art.
Direct quotes are all you need and should read. Ever since they were forced to live with the legal safeguards afforded the children through the petition, the filings -- from the leaked May 30, 2018 order to the myriad filings re Quimicum -- were often filled with false or misleading assertions as they had to maneuver within the legal constraints they were under. As Angelina said in a statement after the May 30 leak, it gives an inaccurate and misleading picture of what is really happening:
"This misleading leak is not in the best interests of the children. From the start, Angelina has been focused only on their health and needs, which is why it was so important that this last court hearing be conducted privately. It’s deplorable that someone, for their own selfish reasons, leaked selective portions of the confidential and sealed court record to create an inaccurate and unfair picture of what is really happening.”
In their own words, they have hinted at the truth to counter the picture painted by the filings. These direct quotes have been illuminating and consistent from the start.

While similar, the two are clearly not translations of each other. It seems unlikely that this page, of all pages, was inadvertently left untranslated. They intentionally left both versions up, they want to be seen as a formidable, sensitive, passionate force, or a forceful, formidable, sensitive passion.😊

Brad Pitt and Emmy Award-winning French producer Damien Quintard have worked together to revamp and redesign the Château Miraval recording studio, which has sat unused for nearly two decades.
Renamed Miraval Studios, the venue will reopen in the heart of Provence rosé wine country in summer 2022.
It marks a rebirth for the illustrious venue, previously known as Studio Miraval, which was built in 1977 by the estate’s then-owner, French pianist and composer Jacques Loussier.
Pink Floyd used the studio for sessions for ‘The Wall’, released in 1979, and other other artists to have recorded there include AC/DC, Sting, The Cure, Sade and The Cranberries, Miraval said.
Quintard said he became involved in the project to rejuvenate the studio after Pitt asked to meet him.
‘When we met in Paris, we immediately clicked,’ Quintard said. ‘It was an intense moment where we just talked and talked about sound.’
The pair said they have completely redesigned the studio, while keeping some of the original equipment and features.
Alongside hybrid analogue/digital capacity and a Dolby Atmos system, there is also technology to handle pre-mixing for film and television.
Studio One has 25-ft ceilings and a 320-square-metre live room, yet there are also separate recording booths and a space housing vintage synthesisers ‘and other rare gear’, said Miraval.
Quintard said the new design has ‘redefined a remarkable natural reverb’ at the venue. ‘It really is a space where you can produce anything from pop and rock, to hip-hop and classical records.’
There is also a swimming pool nearby, a ‘breathtaking vista’ and a tower connected to the studio that can house visiting bands and artists, ‘be it for a day or a month’, Miraval said.
It said it is beginning to take studio bookings for summer 2022.
It added that Quintard and Pitt signed a joint-venture partnership deal for Miraval Studios in 2021.
Miraval has also seen an ownership change this year. In October, Tenute del Mondo, a subsidiary of the Stoli Group, announced it had acquired a 50% stake in Château Miraval and the Miraval brand, from Angelina Jolie.
‘We are thrilled to have a position alongside Brad Pitt as curators of their extraordinary vintages,’ said Damian McKinney, global CEO of Stoli Group.
Miraval rosé has often achieved critical praise and is produced in partnership with the Perrin winemaking family, of Château de Beaucastel fame.

In 2020, Pitt proposed a meeting. “We clicked,” Quintard tells The Hollywood Reporter via a Zoom conversation from his Paris offices. “He came to my studio in Paris. It was a fantastic meeting. We talked for hours and hours. He talked to me about his plans for Miraval. I was obviously super excited, because as a Frenchman and a music lover, one of the Holy Grails is Miraval. I went over there, did my design for the space. We clicked on that side, and we moved forward.”
“The thing I noticed is, he has an acute sense for emotions and simplicity,” he says of Pitt. “The most beautiful records are also done with absolute simplicity. My whole philosophy relates to that — the simple beauty of mono recordings from the 1950s and 1960s, using a single microphone.”
That philosophy extends to their architectural plans. In its previous state, says Quintard, “It was very ’70s — vintage and, in its own way, beautiful.” Still, the cramped quarters and low ceilings bore little relationship to the outside, where the Southern France sunlight poured into every nook and cranny.
“With Brad, we redesigned everything to be so simple, so pure. Light is everywhere,” Quintard continues. “The future is light.”
When the facility opens in 2022, Studio Miraval will be available to all major recording labels.
But Quintard says the new Studio Miraval will be much more than just a premium recording facility. “We want to do different types of productions over there — film, theater, fine arts,” he says. “It’s a new Florence over there.”
