The Larrivet Haut-Brion team joined Wine Lister in February 2022 to catch up with industry friends and meet some new faces in London’s fine wine scene after two years of restricted travel. Alongside a wine and cheese consumer tasting and a trade lunch, Wine Lister organised a series of individual merchant meetings that provided the chance for Managing Director, Bruno Lemoine, Technical Director, François Godichon, and Brand Ambassador, Clara Bouineau, to reunite with a market close to their hearts.
The first stop on Larrivet Haut-Brion’s London tour was specialist wine shop Must & Lees, where the team was joined by some of North London’s Bordeaux enthusiasts for a wine and cheese evening. Celebrating the estate’s commitment to the UK market, Wine Lister and Larrivet Haut-Brion devised a tasting format that showcased their red and white wines alongside a selection of 100% British cheeses from Neal’s Yard Dairy.

Having already met with some of London’s key fine wine merchants the previous day, Wine Lister invited a handful of its fine wine trade and press friends for lunch at Frederick’s to discover some of Larrivet Haut-Brion’s best recent vintages in magnum. To round off the lunch, the Larrivet Haut-Brion team poured some of their favourite wines from outside the property – an exercise that they believe is crucial to learn and gain inspiration from others, while giving guests a glimpse into the team’s personal preferences.
