The Grand Conseil du Vin de Bordeaux
March 6, 2026Master of Wine 2026
In early March, the Grand Conseil du Vin de Bordeaux had the pleasure of welcoming Sunil IYER and David KING. A 5-day tour was organized to explore the prestigious wine-making and historical heritage of Bordeaux.
The journey was designed around tastings and visits to estates across various appellations. Starting with a Masterclass at the Ecole Du Vin (EDV) with Sabine Silvestrini, our guests then explored the Sauternes region, followed by an intensive day in the Médoc (Saint-Julien, Pauillac, Margaux, and Haut-Médoc). The tour continued through Graves and Pessac-Léognan, before concluding on the right bank between Saint-Émilion, Fronsac, and Lalande de Pomerol.
This immersive experience allowed our guests to deepen their knowledge of our region.
Every year, the GCVB is delighted to welcome Master of Wine candidates, highlighting the diversity of our Bordeaux terroir. We wish them the best of luck with their exams!
