Commanderie de Bordeaux in Paris, 2nd Event of 2022, 17th March 2022

Antoine Juaristi - Maître of the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Paris

“A second event for the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Paris was held on 17th March at 114 Faubourg, the Michelin-starred brasserie of the Hotel Le Bristol Paris, in the presence of Philippe Blanc, Managing Director of Château Beychevelle.

The dishes of superb quality were marvellously paired to accompany the selection of wines, which delighted all present, Commandeurs and guests. Beyond the magnificent estate and the legend of this château, whose gardens are bordered by the Garonne River, we enjoyed the delicacy, silkiness and elegance of these wines (the second, as well as the fine wine) in 6 vintages. The tasting of the red wines followed that of the white, Arums de Château Lagrange, the neighbouring property, which really surprised us very pleasantly.

From this evening rich in emotion, we will retain the memory of a true oenological experience that enabled us to take full measure of a fine wine from Saint-Julien, whose style reminded some of us that this appellation has nothing to fear from being compared to Margaux.

All these wines of incredible regularity show that Philippe Blanc, the indisputably talented winemaker of the wines of this château, to which he has paid real tribute for almost three decades now, has succeeded in producing a wine that will remain quite unforgettable in our minds and for our palates, worthy of the exceptional terroir that he, like no other, knows how to reveal.”
