Kevin Judd is a pioneering Marlborough winemaker whose career helped shape the global reputation of New Zealand wine. Born in England and raised in Australia, he studied winemaking at Roseworthy College and began his career in South Australia before moving to New Zealand in 1983.

Cos d'Estournel is one of the most celebrated estates in Bordeaux, located at the southern edge of Saint-Estèphe, near the border of Pauillac. Classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Cos d’Estournel has long been admired for producing powerful yet refined wines.
The estate was founded in the early 19th century by Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel, a visionary known as the “Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe.” Fascinated by the exotic and the far-reaching appeal of fine wine, he built the château in an oriental style, complete with pagodas and decorative elements inspired by his trade with India. His pioneering spirit is still reflected in the wines today.
Today, under the ownership of Michel Reybier, Cos d’Estournel continues to blend tradition with innovation, crafting wines of depth, elegance, and remarkable ageing potential.
We are pleased to welcome Baptiste Belly, Europe & UK Sales Manager of Cos d'Estournel, to guide guests through a curated tasting, including remarkable archive vintages:
