Veranstaltungenthe Grand conseil DU VIN DE BORDEAUXCommanderIES, WINE brotherhoodS

Hirohisa Yoshizawa, Vice Grand Maître of the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Tokyo shares with us a marvellous evening event: an induction ceremony, followed by a gala dinner, held at the Westin Hotel in Tokyo, on 30^th November 2021. An exceptional occasion indeed, because this was the first time in two years that the Commanderie had been able to organise such an event.

12 new Commandeurs were inducted, beginning with Mr Yajuuro Bando (his real name, Hisao Homma).

Mr Nicolas Thiriet, Minister-Counsellor at the French Embassy in Japan
and Mrs Junko Koshino, a famous costume and fashion designer, were invited to this evening reception, where Bordeaux wines were given place of honour.

A blind tasting was organised, during the dinner, for the wines Les Pagodes de Cos and Château Cos d'Estournel 2014.

Here is the list of wines served to accompany the gala dinner:

Domaine de Chevalier, Clos des Lunes d'Argent 2017

Les Pagodes de Cos 2014

Château Cos d'Estournel 2014

Château Palmer Magnum 1997
