Thanks to your commitment and your passion for Bordeaux wines, we experienced unprecedented success: 88 participants. This is an unmatched number for a summer chapter since the founding of our Commanderie in 1981.
This exceptional moment was further enriched by the presence of ten winemakers who came especially to share the richness and diversity of Médoc wines, namely:
- Patrick Meynard – Président du Conseil des Vins du Médoc et propriétaire de Château Lalaudey
- Carole Vidal – Directrice du Conseil des Vins du Médoc
- Sybil Marquet – Responsable réceptif de Château Castera
- Marie Vialard – Propriétaire de Château Cissac
- Carine Boulvin – Directrice adjointe de Château Desmirail
- Thibaut Bastide – Responsable commercial de Château Dutruch Grand Poujeaux
- Bruno Segond – Propriétaire de Château Lousteauneuf
- Andrew Mc Innes – Propriétaire de Château la Cardonne
- Dominique Fédieu – Propriétaire de Château Micalet
- Lucas Leclercq – Directeur de Château Fourcas Dupré
During this chapter, we had the pleasure of welcoming a new Commandeur into our ranks: his Excellency Dusan Matulay, ambassador of Slovakia in Switzerland.
Before lunch, each participant had the opportunity to taste 23 Médoc wines, each presented either by a château owner or a representative of the Syndicat of the Wines of Medoc. The tasting continued seamlessly during the meal, as each attending château owner introduced and commented on their own wine.
The richness and diversity of Médoc wines lit up every moment of the event. Their profound differences sparked lively conversations and widespread enthusiasm. Many stories and anecdotes about the estates were shared, captivating hearts after having delighted palates.
Chef Serge Labrosse, a renowned figure of the local gastronomic scene and Michelin-starred, crafted an exceptional menu designed to perfectly complement the wines served. His Maître d’Hôtel, Nicholas, ensured a service that was both precise and impeccably refined throughout the event, all within the idyllic setting of La Chaumière
