On Monday May 16th at 18:30, we shall have in the Club House a wine tasting of aged Crus Classés of Bordeaux presented by our colleague Javier Gallego.
The price to participate in this event is 30 €. The whole fundraising will be dedicated to an “Europa Terzo Mondo” project, except the amount due to the Club house (3e/pers).Here are the list of wines :
Férrière 2005 Margaux 3rd Cru Classé (3CC)
Fieuzal 2005 Pesssac Leognan Cru Classé (CC)
Léoville Poyferré 1995 St Julien 2nd Cru Classé (2CC)
We shall taste three wines, less than the usual number in the French Semester tasting events, because aged wines require a longer time to explore.
In parallel, there will be an auction sale of a few prestigious other Crus Classés. Again all the money will be donated to ETM.
