Description

There are few people who can have had a more fascinating life in wine than Jean-Guillaume Prats. In our “Great Wine Lives” series he talks to Elin McCoy about how he joined his father to run the family estate, 2nd Growth Château Cos d’Estournel. He stayed on to become its director at the young age of 28, but after 14 years was lured away to run Moet Hennessy’s wine division, which took him all over the world. Bordeaux, though, beckoned him back when the opportunity came to become the director at Château Lafite when its CEO, Christophe Salin, retired. Today he is an entrepreneur with his own enterprise in Provence as well as running  Château Léoville-Las-Cases and helping the Frey family. Outspoken, he worries that Bordeaux is being seen only in terms of prices. Listen in to hear about one extraordinary life, and one that is starting a brilliant new chapter.More information at wine-conversation.com
