Liebe Grands Maîtres,
liebe Maîtres,
liebe Commandeure,
liebe Freunde,

Twice postponed, but at long last the Grand Conseil du Vin de Bordeaux was able to hold its World Congress in the month of September 2022.

Traditionally the month of the harvests, this period sees the accomplishment of a year’s work carried out by men and women, the winegrowers of Bordeaux. After a hot, sunny summer, Bordeaux winegrowers were happy to share their feelings and hopes for this vintage 2022.
