A group of 25 people from the Commanderie travelled to Bordeaux to visit some of the prestigious châteaux of Pomerol. Warmly welcomed by the managers and owners of the estates, the group were able to appreciate the investment and expertise required to create world-renowned wines. Thanks to the support of the Grand Conseil des Vins de Bordeaux in the organising the programme, this tour of the appellation highlighted the history and importance of the Bordeaux wine industry, while underlining the welcoming attitude and generosity of the châteaux.
