Join us for an intimate BYO dinner with special guest David Suire, Director of Château Laroque in Saint-Émilion.
The estate originated in 12th Century but its famous château, one of the region's most magnificent, dates back to the 1600s. Few right bank properties have witnessed such an impressive modern renaissance, with recent vintages increasingly lauded by major critics, with scores up to 97 points and comments that belie its modest price. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy wines from one of the most talked about Bordeaux château with the man who made it happen, whilst also sharing bottles from other member's cellars which have their own story to tell.
When: Wednesday, 2 July 2025, 6.30–9pm Where: Brunswick House Restaurant, 30 Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall, London SW8 2LG, United Kingdom Price: GBP160 + an appropriate bottle from your cellar* *£50+ retail, Right Bank Bordeaux - a wine special to you
