The Commanderie de Bordeaux and the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin have joined forces to create an evening to remember of fine Bordeaux and Burgundy wines.
The Confrêrie des Chevaliers du Tastevin was established in 1934, in Burgundy, France, for people to share appreciation of good food and fine Burgundian wines – not dissimilar to the objectives of the Commanderie de Bordeaux.
La Chaumière will be preparing an elaborate five-course dinner of classic French cuisine to help show-case our wines. The reception will include hors d’oeuvres and aperitif Bordeaux and Burgundy wines from the Commanderie and Confrêrie cellars.
Each table will be a combination of members from the Commanderie and Confrêrie. Commandeur & Escort will be responsible for bringing two “best bottles” from your cellar. You are not limited in that you may bring wine from either Burgundy or Bordeaux to this event. A table captain will be appointed and will work cooperatively with the three other Confreres/Commandeurs prior to the event to coordinate the wine selection with the dinner. It is anticipated that the wines brought will be 1ere Cru or 2eme Cru from Bordeaux, or alternately, Grand Cru or better from Burgundy. This will be a very special opportunity to share truly magnificent bottles with other passionate wine lovers.
The tariff of $150 per person covers all event costs including meal, aperitif wine, corkage, tip & GST.
