Jean-Guillaume Prats’ professional life has changed enormously since February 1 last year. On that Friday he walked out of Chateau Cos d’Estournel in St-Estèphe and, the following week, started his new job at the Paris headquarters of LVMH’s wine interests. As the public face of Cos, sold to Swiss businessman Michel Reybier in 2000 by his father Bruno, Prats was no stranger to airports and long-haul flights. But now, instead of the route between Bordeaux and winemaker dinners in Asia, his travel schedule takes him to virtually all corners of the wine world, as well as frequent trips to London, where his boss Christophe Navarre is based.
讓-紀堯姆?普拉(Jean-Guillaume Prats)的職業生涯從去年的二月一日開始發生了重大的轉變。在那個周五，他走出了圣埃使戴夫(St-Estèphe)的愛士圖爾莊園(Chateau Cos d’Estournel)，而在接下來的那一周來到了自己的新工作場所——路威酩軒(LVMH)旗下葡萄酒公司的巴黎(Paris)總部。2000年，愛士圖爾莊園被讓-紀堯姆的父親布魯諾(Bruno)出售給了瑞士商人米歇爾?雷彼埃(Michel Reybier)。在任莊園代言人期間，普拉是機場的常客，總是與長途飛行為伴，往返于波爾多(Bordeaux)和亞洲之間，出席各種釀酒師晚宴(winemaker dinner)。但是現在的情況有所不同，出行表將他安排到了幾乎世界各個角落，同時還要頻繁地出差倫敦(London)，因為他的老板克里斯托弗?納瓦雷(Christophe Navarre)常駐于此。
