Wine Spectator: Jean-Guillaume Prats Departing from Château Cos-d’Estournel
October 16, 2012Wine Spectator reports that Jean-Guillaume Prats, CEO of second-growth Château Cos-d’Estournel, has announced his departure from the iconic, 224-acre St.-Estephe estate that once belonged to his family, where he has served as CEO for 12 years and earned the admiration of many.
Prats will remain at Cos until mid-January 2013, at which point he’ll embark on a “new professional challenge,” according to Michel Reybier, owner of Cos-d’Estournel. The move was announced to the Bordeaux trade in an Oct. 15 letter to Bordeaux négociants from Reybier. “I want to thank him as well as the whole team of Cos-d’Estournel, for the excellent job done all these years, and wish him every success for the future,” wrote Reybier.
