Remi Cohen joined the Domaine Carneros family as CEO in 2020, bringing with her a diverse, over twenty-year track record of experience in all facets of the fine wine business, from sustainable vineyard management and winemaking to sales, marketing, and brand development. The role brings Cohen’s career full circle, for it’s in Carneros where it all began. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley in molecular biology, Cohen received her master’s in viticulture at University of California, Davis. Her first harvest job was at Saintsbury in 2001, and she continued her tour de Carneros at Bouchaine Vineyards, where she was the vineyard manager for four years, and then the director of vineyard operations for Merryvale and Starmont.

Chris Louton joined St. Francis in 2013 after nearly seven years as part of the winemaking team at Napa’s Beringer Vineyards, where he focused on the luxury tier of wines and helped craft award-winning Cabernet Sauvignons and other Bordeaux varietals.

As Associate Winemaker at Beringer, Chris became a devoted fan of unique terroirs such as Howell Mountain, Knights Valley and Alexander Valley, which gave him a special appreciation for Sonoma County’s diverse appellations.

Tim joined Domaine Carneros as Vineyard Manager in 2022, bringing with him a rich and varied background. A native Kansan with an agricultural degree from the University of Missouri, his experience in California vineyards began on the vineyard management team at the famed Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in the Napa Valley. Following that, he expanded his knowledge of California AVAs working for LVMH, focusing on the 2,000 acres of vineyards for the Domaine Chandon and Newton brands.
