We  celebrated the first Chapter of French-speaking Commanderies at the Hôtel Beau-Rivage in Geneva.  Many nationalities from three continents were part of the 120 participants to celebrate the excellence of Bordeaux wines.

Our friends in the other Commanderies were represented by :

– Louis Caouette, Master of the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Quebec City

– Antoine Juaristi, Master of the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Paris

– Thierry Sengier, Vice-Maître of the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Brussels

– Bruno Strässle, Master of the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Zurich

Each of them, with their different backgrounds and sensibilities, talked about their Commanderies and their vision of our shared passion.

To celebrate this meeting, five extraordinary women were also with us to present their prestigious châteaux:

Carol Duval-Leroy Maison Duval-Leroy

Séverine Bonnie Château Malartic-Lagravière

Florence Cathiard Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte

Elise de Baillencourt Château Gazin

Sandrine Garbay Château Guiraud

Our speakers were celebrated and recognised for their commitment.
