The Grand Maître presents his Best Wishes at the end of the year 2022



Dear Grands Maîtres,
Dear Maîtres,
Dear Commandeurs,
Dear Friends,

2022 brought us much hope and a new start, allowing us to travel and meet once again after such a long period of restrictions caused by the COVID 19 health crisis.

In the month of September, we had the pleasure of welcoming to Bordeaux almost 230 participants for the World Congress of the Commanderies 2022. Three memorable, sun-filled days, it was a superb occasion to bring together true enthusiasts of Bordeaux wines, who came here from all over the world.

2022 draws to a close on positive notes, despite a few periods of stress felt during the year, and gives us a magnificent vintage, with quite a low quantity, but exceptional quality.

This period of end-of-year greetings brings me to share with you an important decision taken unanimously by the Board of Directors, which will be voted at the General Meeting in the month of June next year. As you know, Bordeaux is not only one of the finest wines in the world, it also represents a culture, a way of life and fundamental values we share. Women are at the heart of our daily life, both professional and societal, as well as our environment.  We can therefore no longer envisage that Commanderies de Bordeaux do not have any women members within their community. So, I ask you all, by 1st January 2025, that is to say over the next 2 years, that every Commanderie bearing the name of Bordeaux shall comply with this principle. Bordeaux’s prestige worldwide depends on this.

On behalf of the Grand Conseil du Vin de Bordeaux, as well as all of Bordeaux’s winegrowers and professionals of the Bordeaux wine industry, I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful festive season. May 2023 bring you happiness, health and success in all your projects.

Bordeaux toujours Bordeaux !

With my sincere friendship,


Hubert de Boüard de Laforest.
Grand Maître and President
of the Grand Conseil du Vin de Bordeaux
