Rosé Every Day - a Postcard from Provence with Jean-Guillaume Prats

00:00

25:10

The legendary Jean-Guillaume Prats, once owner of Bordeaux's Château Cos d'Estournel, has worked in every facet of the wine industry, from creating Moët-Hennessy's wine portfolio in China (and overseeing LVMH's properties in eight other countries) to managing Château Lafite. Today he is managing partner in a dazzling enterprise in Provence, Château d'Estoublan, producers of Roseblood, a new and broadly appealing rosé that is like sunny Provence in a glass. In this conversation he talks with Lyn Farmer about his strong convictions about hospitality, we trace his journey from Bordeaux first growths to China to vineyards near Saint Tropez and learn about the intersections of wine and hospitality and his belief that, like a fine hotel, a glass of wine invites a moment of serenity

As an introduction, Lyn talks about the elements that contribute to a good rosé and why great rosé is a serious wine. After their conversation, Lyn wraps up with a quick tasting note on Roseblood Rosé.
