Commanderie de Bordeaux in Tokyo - Saint-Emilion Classified Great Growths Evening, 16th May 2023

Hirohisa Yoshizawa – Deputy Maître of the Commanderie de Bordeaux in Tokyo

The Commanderie de Bordeaux in Tokyo organised a superb Saint-Émilion Classified Great Growths evening on Tuesday 16th May 2023, in the Hakuho Salon of Happo-en in Shirakanédai, Tokyo.

In the presence of two key representatives of the French Embassay in Japan, Mr Nicolas Thiriet, Minister-Counsellor and Mr Christophe Grignon, Deputy Chief of the Regional Economic Department Japan-Korea, 17 Classified Great Growth châteaux of Saint-Emilion served their wines during the dinner.

In addition, each château gave a bottle of wine for a charity auction. The proceeds of this auction, 519 000 Yen, were totally donated to the Civic Force Foundation, which supports victims of natural disasters in Japan.

After the Kanpai (toast), presented by Mrs Junko Kosino, Honorary Ambassador of Bordeaux wine, we had the pleasure of watching the Lion dance, “Shishi-Mai”, which brings happiness.

Mr Takuya Nakanshi, Vice-Maître, said a few words to conclude this marvellous evening.
