It has almost become a tradition with our friends of Champagne Laurent Perrier, Marc Perrin of Château de Beaucastel and Thomas Duroux director of Château Palmer to visit Japan together for a few days of intensive wining and dining...

Each time a demontration of French wines at their best with amongst others Cuvée Grand Siècle, Beaucastel 1990, Palmer 1990 ending up the feast with our Gewurztraminer Sélection de Grains Nobles 1989. 

Photo at Michel Troisgros Tokyo with chef Lionel Beccat... and some happy faces !
