ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Chteau dEstoublon is one of the most remarkable estates in France, and has launched with Roseblood dEstoublon the most dynamic luxury ros in the market. Roseblood embodies a history of excellence, a commitment to a special land in the French Provence countryside, and the vision of its extraordinary team of owners. Founded in 1489, Chteau dEstoublon is, because of its olive oil (Best in the World 2022 and 2023), already one of the 93 members of the French committee of leading luxury brands, along with Herms, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier and others.

In 2020, Jean-Guillaume Prats, formerly CEO of Cos dEstournel in Bordeaux, CEO of Moet-Hennessys fine wine portfolio, and then CEO of Lafite-Rothschild, purchased the estate with several friends.

Jean-Guillaumes partners, who are hands-on owners, are musician/model/global influencer Carla Bruni and her husband the former President of France Nicolas Sarkozy, and Stphane Courbit, a French entrepreneur who owns among other businesses a group of leading 5 star hotels in France and the Ladure macaron company. This dynamic ownership group has in the last several years purchased 340 hectares of vineyard to add to the extraordinary 300 hectares of primarily forest, olive groves, and gardens around the estate.

Roseblood is an utterly unique combination, a ros so closely tied to a historic estate of agricultural as well as regionally cultural importance, infused with the passion of its surroundings and its owners, and emblematic of the Art of Living in Provence.
